Title: span.value-time title time format incorrect Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # span.value-time title time format incorrect * Resolved [EastDevonAlliance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eastdevonalliance/) * (@eastdevonalliance) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/) * When I use the shortcode plugin to generate a list of events, I get code like this: * ``` 2 December @ 3:00pm - 5:00pm ``` * As you can see, the actual times are e.g. 3pm but the timestamp is 3am. * I have traced this to `/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/general. php` lines 1083-1084 which read e.g.: * `$microformatStartFormat = tribe_get_start_date( $event, false, 'Y-m-dTh:i' );` * but which I think should read: * `$microformatStartFormat = tribe_get_start_date( $event, false, 'Y-m-dTH:i' );` * as ‘h’ means 12 hour format and ‘H’ 24 hour format. * I have tested this change and it seems to do the trick. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793825) * HI, * Thanks for providing this information. * What shortcode plugin are you speaking of? * Thanks * Thread Starter [EastDevonAlliance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eastdevonalliance/) * (@eastdevonalliance) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793826) * Not at home at the moment but it’s the third party plugin in the store which you can use to list events. * But this uses your code to format the events, and I tracked this minor time format bug down into your code. (Very well written code BTW.) * [Clifford Paulick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffpaulick/) * (@cliffpaulick) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793852) * Sorry but we can’t provide support for third-party plugins. You might want to try asking them for support. Thanks for your understanding. * Thread Starter [EastDevonAlliance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eastdevonalliance/) * (@eastdevonalliance) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793853) * Clifford * I am NOT asking you to support a 3rd party plugin. * I AM asking you to implement a solution to a bug in your code that I have diagnosed and provided you with the fix for. * It is obvious that the timestamp code should be in 24hr and not 12hr format – and the fix I provided is trivially small and easily understood. * So I am unclear why you are refusing to implement this, and I would ask you to reconsider. * Many thanks. * Paul * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793859) * Ok we are looking into it. * [Clifford Paulick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffpaulick/) * (@cliffpaulick) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793860) * Paul, I discussed your bug report with one of our developers and with Brian. * We appreciate your assistance with resolving any possible bugs in the code, but we can’t seem to relate the code you cited with anything we see in our current release. * Would you please make sure you’re on the latest version and, if you think the issue still needs to be fixed, submit a pull request to our [Github repo](https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar)? If we do implement your pull request, you’ll get official props in the changelog. * Thank you very much for helping make The Events Calendar the best it can be! * Thread Starter [EastDevonAlliance](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eastdevonalliance/) * (@eastdevonalliance) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spanvalue-time-title-time-format-incorrect/#post-6793861) * I have not upgraded to the latest version because I have applied this fix to the current version at the time I fixed it and cannot upgrade until you have applied the same fix to your version. I am on version 3.12.6. * However. I have taken a look at the source code of 4.0.2 which has undergone major restructuring and tracked the equivalent down to DBDATETIMEFORMAT in tribe- common/src/Tribe/Date_Utils.php which is: `const DBDATETIMEFORMAT = 'Y-m-d H: i:s';` * Since this is using upper-case H, it would seen that this has indeed been resolved in the current version. * I will upgrade to this version of the plugin as soon as I get the chance and check it is working as expected.
