Separate Date and Time into 2 lines for Single Day Events for single.php

[Elizabeth]

I’m using the Events Calendar Pro for a client who only has single day events. On the single event view page I would like to show the date on two lines like this:
Date: January, 15, 2013
Time: 6:30pm-7:30pm

Is there a way for me to edit the single.php file to accomplish this?

Hi Elizabeth,

Sure there is. First, make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php and place in an ‘events’ folder in your active theme. Then find lines 22-23 and replace with something like this: http://snippi.com/s/6wje59r – this will only affect the start date/time, you’ll need to figure out what you want to do with the end date/time. If you want to change the date/time format just checkout the PHP documentation on date format: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

I hope that helps!

Thank you Jonah, this helped quite a bit. I haven’t been able to get the date or time formatting to take though. Would you mind taking a look?

I just saw my mistake with the date formatting – I didn’t repeat the same string in the php command. It is working perfectly now!
Thank you again for your help and very fast reply!
