    On the home page of http://www.bluewater.org in the lower-right column is a widget displaying certain major events. The issue we’re having is that multiple-day events (say, a festival running Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) often have different start/end times each day. We don’t want to have a separate event for each of those days, so we’re wondering how to hide the start/end times from showing, but leave the dates visible.

    (For now, we just have the events listed as All Day.)

    Thanks for your help!

    Hey Matt. Thanks for the note on this, and my apologies for the inconvenience you’re faced with so far. I am seeing the issue on your site there and this should be relatively easy by just doing a template override of the widget itself.

    Create a new ‘events’ folder in your theme directory and copy over the events-list-load-widget-display.php file. There you can modify that copied file and change the date/time output as you see fit. The WordPress codex on date/time can give you what you need on the formatting front: http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time.

    That help? Let me know if not.

    That didn’t work. I can’t figure out where to change the date, time at.

    Alright, Matt. No problem – let me get Casey from our dev team to try and point you in the right direction on this.

    Matt,
    I’m more than happy to help with this. If you don’t have an ‘Events’ directory in your theme directory, then you’ll need to perform a template override (https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them/). Once you’ve done this go to YOUR_THEME_DIRECTORY/events/events-list-load-widget-display.php and edit this code starting on line 45: https://gist.github.com/3291389

    With this code: https://gist.github.com/3291479

    That should remove the time from events that are multi-day. Just let me know if you have any more questions. Always happy to help. Thanks!

    Hmm. I did that, but its not appearing on the front end of the site. The times are still there.

    Gotcha – thanks for the follow-up, Matt. Not sure if Casey saw your last note but I’ve passed it back his way just to be safe. Stay tuned!

    Matt,
    Can you post the code in your ‘events-list-load-widget-display.php’ file to https://gist.github.com/ and share the link with me to review? Thanks!
