Removing times from list and single event view

[Rachel]

Hi I am trying to remove the time from the list view and single event view. I’ve consulted this doc: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-date-functions/ but the only place I can see to make the edit is date.php… I did this as a template override but it doesn’t seem to have changed anything. Am I on the wrong track? Which is the file that I need to update to remove the times? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rachel,

The only files you can override are in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views and /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/views

For list view you’ll want to edit list.php and for single; single.php.

Let me know if you need anything else with this.

Cheers,
Jonah

ok so based on the date functions I need to update this bit of code throughout:
– and somehow get [bool $displayTime = false] in there. Are you able to help me with the correct syntax? I was able to do the other mods myself but this is beyond me. Thanks

hmm the php bit deleted itself.. this is the bit Im guessing I need to udpate: tribe_get_start_date()

Hi Rachel,

We have horrible code pasting in the forums, sorry about that. We’re working to improve it but it takes sort of a back burner to work on the plugin 🙂

Yeah, so if you do something like this:

tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'F j, Y' );

That will display the date without the time (just paste in the same for the end_date). And if you want to change the date format further you can pass in any valid PHP date/time values: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Does that help?

Glad to hear Rachel, let us know if there’s anything else you need.
