# Admin area time format

 * In EventPrime settings, the documentation for Frontend Time Format says: “**Admin
   area time format is based on your WordPress settings.**”
 * My WordPress is set to time format “H:i” (17:01).
 * In the Edit Event screen, the input format is “g:i A” (05:01 PM).
 * I guess, this is a bug because the WordPress setting is being ignored.
 * Regards,
   Michael

 * Hi Michael,
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention
 * Could you please share the exact documentation link or reference where this statement
   is mentioned? This will help us review it in context.
 * To clarify, EventPrime currently provides a 12-hour format option for the backend(
   admin area). For the frontend display, you can adjust the time format by navigating
   to EventPrime → Settings → General tab → Setup subtab → Frontend Time Format.
 * Looking forward to your reply.

 * Go to `wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=em_event&page=ep-settings`
 * There you find “Frontend Time Format” with this documentation:
 * _Time format for frontend event lists and single event pages. **Admin area time
   format is based on your WordPress settings**._
 * And WordPress is set to time format “H:i” (17:01) but not “g:i A” (05:01 PM).

 * Thanks for sharing the details.
 * We’ve reviewed this at our end and confirmed that the backend (admin area) currently
   uses the 12-hour time format by default. The “Frontend Time Format” option under
   EventPrime → Settings applies only to event listings and single event pages on
   the frontend.
 * We’ve forwarded this to our planning and development team for further review 
   to ensure consistency between the backend and WordPress time format settings.
   Any required correction in functionality or plugin settings will be addressed
   in an upcoming update.
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
