 * Hello,
 * for the event output list i want to change the Dateformat from 01/01/2016 to 
   01.01.2016. But how i can do that, when im just able to give “#_EVENTDATES”?
 * Thank you very much in advance 🙂
 *     ```
       <tr>
           <td>
                       #_EVENTDATES<br/>
                       #_EVENTTIMES
                   </td>
                   <td>#_EVENTLINK
                       {has_location}<br/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
                   </td>

 * If you want to change the date format for all places on your website, you can
   customize what the #_EVENTDATES placeholder outputs (see post above). Basically
   you need to just replace the “/” separators with “.” separators.
 * However, if you want your date to have full control over how your date is displayed–
   and to display it differently in e.g. the sidebar widget than on the events page
   you will need to stop using the #_EVENTDATES placeholder and instead use directly
   the standard WordPress Date/Time format strings.
 * For instance, you could create a shortcode to use in a page/post:
 *     ```
       [events_list scope="future" orderby="event_start_date, event_name" order="ASC" limit="6"]
       <div class="eventWrapper">
       <div class="eventImage"><a href="#_EVENTURL">#_EVENTIMAGE{600,450}</a></div>
       <div class="eventDate">#_{d}.#_{m}.#_{Y}
       #_EVENTTIMES</div>
       <div class="eventCategory">#_CATEGORYNAME
       #_LOCATIONTOWN, #_LOCATIONCOUNTRY</div>
       <div class="eventTitle"><a href="#_EVENTURL">#_EVENTNAME</a></div>
       <div class="eventExcerpt">#_EVENTEXCERPT{25,...}</div>
       <div class="eventExcerptReadmore"><a href="#_EVENTURL">Read more</a></div></div>
       [/events_list]
       ```
