'Events List' widget not showing the month, just day-name and day-number

[peterppm]

I have just installed the Events Calendar PRO, which seems to be working fine except for one issue.
All I have done is I have used your CSS template to add my own colours to match the site and that is about all.
I stripped that CSS list back out but it made no difference and deactivating and changing themes also has had effect.

I have just added the Events list to my Home page as a widget.
It displays the upcoming events but on the left of the info,
It shows the Day of the week and the actual date in the month but doesn’t show the month.
This is quite confusing.

Changing from Skeleton, to Full Styles to Tribe Events Styles does not make any difference.
Inspecting the Elements only shows list-dayname and list-daynumber.

Any advice, please?

Many thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter. Thanks for your thorough question.

I tested the Events List widget with the TwentyFifteen theme and it looks just like that link’s screenshots, displaying the month name too.

I checked out the website your system information provided us with, and I see the month name on your /romsley page’s Events List widget… so it seems like it’s working.

If you still think it’s not working, please send a screenshot and a link where I can view that widget in action.

Thanks!

Peter, thanks for the additional info.

There are 2 ways to go about this:

1. filter the dayname to output the Month Name instead (e.g. “October” instead of “Saturday”)
   1. One potential downside is that the HTML code will be .list-dayname but it’ll really be displaying “Oct” (the month) — but that should be ok
   2. Additionally, you’ll lose the day name, since it’s being replaced by the month name — but that’s probably just fine since you’re trying to avoid the confusion of visitors thinking an event is “this Saturday” or “next Wednesday”
   3. Here’s a sample snippet to make this change: https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/5c6fae0071a07b2e2e73
2. use our Themer’s Guide to override the /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php file (e.g. add span class=”list-monthname” to display the month name in addition to the day name)

I hope this information helps you get the customizations you’re wanting! 🙂

Please let me know how it goes for you.
