Change date format to remove year and put date on one line and time on 2nd line

[Lynne]

I would like to display the date and time as follows:
Date: April 18
Time: 4:00 to 5:00 pm

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Hi again Lynne. Have you played around with the different time/date settings under Settings -> General? Unless I’m misunderstanding the request here, date & time settings for the overall WP install should carry over to the calendar too.

[Lynne]

This is not a WP date settings issue; I’m referring to the display on this page where it says the Start and End date:
http://206.130.110.176/conference/event/value-chain/

Start:
April 18, 2012 3:45 pm

End:
April 18, 2012 5:15 pm

Is it possible instead to say:
“Date: April 18”
“Time: 3:45 to 5:15 pm”

Which php file should I modify to alter that display?

Hi Lynne, you’ll want to modify /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php – first make a duplicate copy and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme and then hack away!

[Lynne]

It seems that the single.php file is for the display when you are viewing one event at a time. I’ve been able to alter that display, but I’m also hoping to edit that right data display for the full list view (before you click to open a single event), as in this page:
http://206.130.110.176/conference/calendar/2012-04-18/

Is this also in single.php or is this in another file?

[Lynne]

I found it – list.php

Great, let us know if you need anything else with this 🙂
