Event Date Showing as January 1, 1970

[Jim]

Hi guys!
Love the plugin and Pro version. BUT…When an event is submitted by a user, it’s start date is being set as January 1, 1970 instead of whatever date it is supposed to be (ex. June 29, 2013). I’ve seen a couple threads on this but no definitive resolution. an ya’ help me out here PLEASE 😀
Both the The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro are versions 2.0.11

Hi Jeffrey, sorry to hear that. I’d love to take a peek and see if any obvious problems jump out – however the URL you provided when you opened the thread doesn’t seem to be valid. Can you confirm where I should be looking (definitely feel free to use our private reply feature if you prefer).

Thanks!

So the thing with using a custom-built user submission form (as opposed to Community Events’ submit event form) is we can’t really offer any support – though I do notice that rather than having a single date field there are separate year, month and day inputs so perhaps something in the wiring isn’t combining them into the correct format?

However I’m afraid we’d have to bow out and leave this one to you/your developer.

Hey again…
So I am going to purchase the Community Events and attempt to use that instead of the GFs that I created. I’ll beta that and if I’m still encountering issues I’ll be in touch 🙂
Cheers!
Jeffrey

Sure thing 🙂

[Jim]

Just grabbed it and installed…works like a charm 🙂
I have a related question…should I start a new thread or just continue here? Not sure of your protocol

[Barry]

Ideally in a fresh thread if you don’t mind, it also helps other users to find solutions if they are looking for information about the same or similar issues.
