 * Hi everyone,
 * I am using Events Manager in a Persian (Farsi) website and also using a plugin
   called “wp-jalali” which converts any Date to Persian Calendar format whole through
   the WordPress.
    Unfortunately the only dates which I still receive in Gregorian
   Calendar format are in Events Manager areas. Is there anything that prevent this
   conversion ?
 * Regards,
    Babak

 * Hiya,
 * Which parts of EM aren’t being converted exactly? Could you link to your site
   or post screenshots?
 * I had a brief look at WP-Jalali and it appears to use the correct filters.
 * Thanks,
    Phil

 * Hi Phil
    Everywhere same situation ! Widget, Event Page,… Here is my site with
   some sample data: [http://www.itgforum.com/](http://www.itgforum.com/) in this
   homepage you can see “Event Widget” at the Bottom-Left which display a Gregorian
   date and “Recent Post” widget at the Bottom-Right which works fine and display
   the Persian date (both have “F j, Y” date format)!

   in this page which is my Events list page also the same situation with the Gregorian
   date format!
 * I should mention that when I update the date format from Event settings it works
   fine but in different shapes of Gregorian!
 * Regards,
    Babak

 * Phil / Angelo may know more about this than me, but it would be worth checking
   that the plugin is designed to work with custom post types. It’s possible that’s
   the issue.

 * Any idea ?
 * Does anybody know where #_EVENTDATES parameter gets its value, so I can check
   or edit that part !
    I ask this question because there are so many files and 
   checking them one by one is a very time consuming process!

 * Solved !!
    The problem is because “WP-Jalali” doesn’t support “date_i18n” so 
   I changed “wp-content\plugins\events-manager\classes\em-event.php” file and the
   problem solved.
