Time Sensitive!!! Day of Week is incorrect

[Daniella]

Hi,
On the single event page, http://kidoinfo.com/ri/event/wake-up-in-the-barnyard-bristol-5/2013-08-17/, the day of the week is incorrect. Note this example as showing a Tuesday instead of Saturday. The code is
Please help and thank you!

Hi Daniella,

Looks like your code was stripped from your reply (the forum doesn’t handle code very nicely) – could you add it a second time by sharing it via Pastebin, Gist or a similar service?

Thanks – and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Daniella:

<?php echo the_time('l, ') ?><?php echo tribe_events_event_schedule_details(); ?>

So the first bit of code – the_time() – is a WordPress function that displays the time of the post (which isn’t the same thing as the time of the event – it really refers to the date and time that the event was created). The format you specified is just to display the day of the week – so yes unfortunately there is a good chance those will be out of synch in the majority of cases.

How about trying tribe_get_event_date() instead?

[Daniella]

I echoed that but got a fatal error. Any ideas?

Hey Daniella. Thanks for the follow-up; my apologies but I’m not sure Barry saw your reply. He’s only operating with us at about 1/2 capacity this week but we’ll definitely get you a reply here over the next 24-hours. Thanks for your patience so far.

I’m very sorry Daniella, it did indeed slip through. So can you try something like this:

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date(get_the_ID(), false, 'l, ') ?>

Does that achieve what you want here?

[Daniella]

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

[Barry]

Excellent!
