 * An event’s date is showing in the date box as: May 21 2020
    I have Wordperfect(
   Date format: j F Y): 21 May 2020
 * Is this a bug? I can’t see anywhere else to change it so that the event date 
   matches my WordPress date format preference.

 * I tried that, but I do not think it works.
    1. I changed the date format to what I want. See [this image](https://imgur.com/a/2bhNUvj).
    2. The date is correct in the “List of events page”, [this image](https://imgur.com/a/vCJbjcn)
    3. But when I view a single event, the date format is wrong, see [this image](https://imgur.com/a/VYo4nLs).
       
       It shows May 21 20202, but it should show 21 May 2020
 * I tried changing theme, but it makes no difference. I also tried deactivating
   all plug-ins but it did not help.

 * Hi [@iantresman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iantresman/),
 * Thanks for providing more detail.
 * “List of events page” is shortcode, so you can manage date format from shortcode
   settings: [https://i.postimg.cc/BvqV7nTL/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/BvqV7nTL/image.png)
   then you can see the result when you use the shortcode on the front-end: [https://i.postimg.cc/LsK1mJC5/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/LsK1mJC5/image.png)

 * Also about the “Singe Event Page”, you can head over to MEC Settings > Single
   Event > Single Event Date Format: [https://i.postimg.cc/Jh3WGh8P/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/Jh3WGh8P/image.png)
   and then you can see the result on the front-end of all single events with your
   desired date format: [https://i.postimg.cc/YCzHS9M8/image.png](https://i.postimg.cc/YCzHS9M8/image.png)
