Title: Problems with 2016 event dates Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Problems with 2016 event dates * Resolved [Audrey Lopes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/audrey-lopes/) * (@audrey-lopes) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/) * Hello, * We have been using the Events Calendar for almost a year now and the dates were in format: DD/month like 10/november. Now I’m creating the events of 2016 and for some reason the format not only changed, but has problems. Is DD DD/MM MM/ YY YY YY YY The link: [http://scafoabc.com.br/calendarios/categoria/viagens/2016-01/](http://scafoabc.com.br/calendarios/categoria/viagens/2016-01/) * Please let me know what can I do. * Thanks!

I see this might be a legit bug here. Before logging this I would like to have a bit more information on this: - Does switching the site language to English fixs this? - Can you please follow the steps described in our [Testing for conflicts guide](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/)? This way we can see if this is a problem in our plugin or a conflict with the theme or other installed plugins. * Thanks a lot, Nico * Thread Starter [Audrey Lopes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/audrey-lopes/) * (@audrey-lopes) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734572) * Hello Nico, * I made all the tests on the guide, but it didn’t change. Always cleaning my cache, of course. Plus, I took the time to update some plugins that I needed, also no change. * Let me know the next steps Thanks! * [ggwicz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ggwicz/) * (@ggwicz) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734607) * Hey there, * Going back to your first post, you mention this: * > the dates were in format: DD/month like 10/november. * Can you clarify exactly how you configured the date formats in that way? * Thank you! * [hectoralvaez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hectoralvaez/) * (@hectoralvaez) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734614) * Hello ggwicz, * I have the same problem, * When I go to 2016 I get this date format: * 3 03UTC gener 03UTC 2016 * [http://www.matarocomerc.cat/event/festiu-dobertura-comercial-6/](http://www.matarocomerc.cat/event/festiu-dobertura-comercial-6/) * The right date format: [http://www.matarocomerc.cat/event/les-noves-linies-de-futur-que-exploren-les-cadenes/](http://www.matarocomerc.cat/event/les-noves-linies-de-futur-que-exploren-les-cadenes/) * Could you help me? * Thank you very much, Héctor. * [hectoralvaez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hectoralvaez/) * (@hectoralvaez) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734649) * I finally found the solution. * The problem was the date format with year. When it makes the change from 2015 to 2016 it adds the year to date format. * I hope It can be helpful to someone. * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734664) * Hi hectoralvaez, * Thanks for the information. * And for anyone else with this issue please check the Date Formats in the Display tab of the Event Settings as what is included in there could cause these issues. * Thanks * [Ava Wendt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akwendt/) * (@akwendt) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734670) * Another problem with 2016 dates is that the calendar picker does not map to the correct days of the week. For example, it shows January 11 as a Sunday, when it is actually a Monday. Then the error propagates to the following months. I found it while trying to add an event for January 11 & 12. I’m on the latest version 4.4 of WordPress, and using the latest version of Divi theme. * [marc1na](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marc1na/) * (@marc1na) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734671) * I entered dates into the calendar and they show up. But, when you click on them, I get a 404 error. Not sure where to change this so it works? * [marc1na](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marc1na/) * (@marc1na) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734672) * I changed the single event URL slug from “event” (the default) to “class” and it works again. Not sure why we have to change the default setting to make it work, but it does now. * [Clifford Paulick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffpaulick/) * (@cliffpaulick) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-2016-event-dates/#post-6734674) * Since this thread was opened by Audrey Lopes, we’ll stick to discussing their issue. * If you have a separate question to ask, please post a new thread, as we try to keep our threads focused on just one issue to ensure we answer each question. Thanks for your understanding. * Audrey, any updates?
