Widget-This-Week : date translation

[jazzinconcert]

Hi there,

i use the this-week-widget on my german website, the widget offers the dates in a short version like:

Mo 25th or So 31st

How can i change/translate this to a german kind of view like

Mo 25. or So 31.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks for your support
Thomas

Good morning Thomas and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

The good news is that the date display is completely customizable. At least to the extent of the different WordPress date formats that is.
You can read more about date formats here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time

You will find the setting for this under Events -> Settings -> Display 

In your specific case, it looks like you’ll simply need to remove the “S” from the format.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your reply.

But I’m missing : Day of Month under Events -> Settings -> Display

I attached a screenshot

Sorry, Hi Geoff 😉 … was reading to fast….

Good evening Thomas,

Thank you for writing back and for the screenshot.

You are right, your settings under Events -> Settings -> Display look fine.

This could mean a couple of things:

1. Your WordPress date settings under Settings > General are overriding our plugin’s settings. Would you mind sending me a screenshot of that page
2. Your WordPress theme date settings (probably hardcoded) are overriding our plugin’s settings

   Could you please send me a copy of your WordPress theme / child theme in a .zip file link (via Dropbox or Google Drive) so that I can run some tests on my end ?

3. Could you also please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

Best regards and hang in there as we sort this through,
