# [Plugin: Events Manager] Date Format Error

 * I recently upgraded to WP v 3.4 and now I’m getting an error in the admin side
   of the Events Manager with the date format.
 * Currently the date format in the events manager admin shows the UK version of
   dd/mm/yy when a date is selected from the calendar, and then shows the US date
   format of mm/dd/yy on the Event page.
 * I have the Default Location Country set to US in the Events admin, and also have
   my WordPress site set to mm/dd/yy so I should not be seeing the UK version anywhere
   on the site.
 * How can I get the Events Manager admin to show the correct date format?

 * Same here,
 * Can not use events manager with any template, not even default templates
 * When looking in firebug, somehow <p> tags got inserted into the script
 *     ```
       }else{
       $('#event-tickets').fadeIn();
       $("div#rsvp-data").fadeIn();
       }
       });</p>  /* <----  here */
       <p> if($('input#event-rsvp').attr("checked")) {
       $("div#rsvp-data").fadeIn();
       } else {
       $("div#rsvp-data").hide();
       }
       });
       ```

 * Updated to 3.4.1 and updated default templates
    cleared cache
 * does work with
 * Twenty Eleven
    Twenty Ten
 * But besides those, none
    Always get this
 * > Dates must have correct formatting. Please use the date picker provided.
 *  + the error code posted above
 * Any suggestions on how i can fix this

 * It sounds like you have a jQuery conflict that is preventing the calendar popup.
   I had this issue too and had to disable one of my plugins to get it back, for
   me it was the Genesis Title Toggle plugin that caused the conflict.

 * Here is the solution to change the calendar picker’s date format in the admin.
 * Go to: settings > formats/layouts > date/time formats > Date Picker Format

 * If JS doesn’t work or gets broken along the way, you’ll have issues adding dates
   and it’ll not accept the event as valid.
 * If your theme is doing this, I’d check to see if your theme isn’t loading outdated
   or duplicate jQuery library files, I’ve seen this a lot recently.
