    I found this thread and tried to use it to make the change I’d like, but it’s not working. Can’t figure out why. https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/add-month-to-dateday-box-in-widget-list-view/

    What I’m trying to do is replace the DAY with the MONTH in the Upcoming Events Widget and when using the Shortcode Events list view. You can see what I’d like to do in the image. The current / default version is on the left. What I’m trying to do is shown on the right. But it’s not working for me.

        I copied the the single-event.php file into my themes folder. The directory is /parallax-pro/tribe-events/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php
        On line 26 of that file, I replaced class="list-dayname"><?php echo apply_filters( 'tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname', date_i18n( 'D', $postDate ), $postDate, $mini_cal_event_atts['class'] ); ?></span>
        …with this line of code. class="list-dayname"><?php echo apply_filters( 'tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname', date_i18n( 'M', $postDate ), $postDate, $mini_cal_event_atts['class'] ); ?></span>
        All I changed was the PHP date format form “D” to “M” would should produce a 3-letter month. It doesn’t. In fact NOTHING changes.
        I have emptied my cache at the server level, checked to make sure the copied/edited file is on my server, refreshed my page. Nothing

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

    The directory for custom templates in your theme should be this:

    /parallax-pro/tribe-events/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

    Essentially src/views becomes tribe-events.

    Also, in 4.2 the Event List Widget and Shortcode will show the Month instead of day name for events not in the current month. For example events in May will show the day of the week, but events in June would show Jun.

    Let me know if changing that directory works for you.

    Cheers
