 * Hello,
 * How is it possible to change how the time is displayed for an event?
 * For example we don’t write “8 h 00 min – 16 h 00 min” in French, but rather “
   8h00 – 16h00″… without “min” and without spaces around the hours separator. Plus,
   it’s takes less space.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi,
 * you need to
    1. log on to the back end 2. on the left hand side navigate in the
   menu to Events (or whatever it is in Frensh) 3. there click on Settings 4. on
   the top choose Display 5. on that page you find settings to change the display
   format for the dates and times
 * the direct link is: [http://<yourpage>/wp-admin/edit.php?page=tribe-common&tab=display&post_type=tribe_events](http://<yourpage>/wp-admin/edit.php?page=tribe-common&tab=display&post_type=tribe_events)
 * Hope that helps
    Tom

 * Hello [@tomiv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomiv/),
 * As you can imagine, I already went on that screen. But there is no way to tweak
   how TIME is displayed.

 * Hey [@tomiv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomiv/)
 * Check out WP Dashboard > Settings > General > Time Format.

 * [@courane01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courane01/) I obviously checked
   that setting first. It’s not related. I ended up overriding the whole widget 
   function, because it’s in the widget itself that the plugin uses a weird formatting.
