How do I remove the start and end times?

[jtmrochem]

I want to be clear, I am not referring to the customization window that expands open under “Appearances” > “Plugins”. I am trying to disable the entire star/end time so that it does not show. All I need are the dates of each event, no need for start/end times.

Hi there – so the first thing to do (if you haven’t already done so) is read up on theming The Events Calendar and template overrides.

You’ll want to copy across and modify list.php to your theme’s events folder. Then, locate these lines in your custom version of list.php and remove them.

That should remove the start/end date fields from the meta area on the upcoming events list page.

Hi Barry
Just wondering how I remove only the end time?
Thanks

and not necessarily just for list.php. Probably plugin wide, so for gridview, single.php, community events etc etc.
Want to do a similar thing with the year.
Cheers

Hi Steve!

Just wondering how I remove only the end time?

So in the snippet I shared last time there are basically three blocks, each starting with <tr> and ending with </tr> – in this case you could try removing the middle block.

and not necessarily just for list.php. Probably plugin wide, so for gridview, single.php, community events etc etc.

So going back to the previous example, note that that middle block contains a bit of code reading echo tribe_get_end_date(); – that is your clue that it relates to the end date.

While we can’t really guide you through making this change in each individual template the process is basically the same and so once again I’d recommend reading up on the same resources I provided in my initial post and taking things from there.

Thanks!

Where can I find list.php after I log in to the ftp?

[Barry]

You should be able to find the original in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views. It’s worth bookmarking our Themer’s Guide – this section for instance summarizes the different folders you should look in and the role of the various different templates 🙂

“So in the snippet I shared last time there are basically three blocks, each starting with and ending with – in this case you could try removing the middle block.”

This refers to the entire end date (incl time), not just the specific time itself.
Is there a way to just remove the time?
Thanks

Hi Steve,

There certainly is – if you can find the following piece of code (and the same pattern basically applies to tribe_get_start_date(), too):

echo tribe_get_end_date()

Then you just need to modify it slightly:

echo tribe_get_end_date(null, false)

And that should remove the time.

Great, thanks barry.
Done it for all i.e. single , list and single venue. However, want to get rid of it too in the pop up in gridview.
Thanks a lot

Hi Steve,

If you setup a custom table.php template you will see this code toward the bottom. Try amending it to this.

Does that help?
