Removing End Date if It's the Same Day

[Rose]

Hi, Can you please tell me how to remove the end date from displaying if it is the same day? For instance, we have an upcoming event that says,
“July 30, 2014 – July 30, 2014”. Along similar lines, how do we remove the end date if the day is the same so that it displays only the “- End Time” (July 30, 2014 @ 9:00am – 3:00pm) instead of re displaying the date as it currently does “July 30, 2014 @ 9:00am – July 30, 2014 @ 3:00pm”

Hi – some great questions there!

When I test things out with our latest release this is what I see:

• The schedule info for an event taking place on a single day looks a bit like August 18 @ 5:45 am – 9:45 am (so that seems to match what you have requested)
• For an all-day event it simply provides something like July 4 (again that seems to match your requirements here)
• …or, if it is an ongoing event – ie, the end date/time match the start time exactly – I see something like July 4 @ 8:00 am (again this sounds like it would meet your needs)

I’m unsure why you are experiencing anything other than this, but I do note that you have a fairly stylized calendar (I’m guessing at the minimum you have some custom templates in place and/or some custom logic somewhere) and wonder if those customizations could be the source of this?

Can you check in with the theme vendor, or try to confirm if this might be the case by restoring a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Thirteen?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
