 * Hi guys,
 * Is it possible to change the permalink structure from:
 * [http://www.website.com/events/event-2013-09-03/](http://www.website.com/events/event-2013-09-03/)
 * to
 * [http://www.website.com/events/event-9th-march/](http://www.website.com/events/event-9th-march/)
 * It would be much useful!

 * sorry, this might not be possible at the moment however maybe you can try something
   similar using this thread – [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-in-the-permalink?replies=11](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-in-the-permalink?replies=11)

 * you can change this actually, but it’d require custom coding.
 * In case you can code, the bit of code you want to make is for this filter:
 * `$recurring_date_format = apply_filters('em_event_save_events_format', 'Y-m-d');`
 * Change Y-m-d to a valid php date() format.

 * Hi Marcus,
 * Much helpful!
 * Where abouts would I add this or edit this code? Is this code already set in 
   a .php file somewhere?
 * Thanks!

 * that’s the filter itself, you’d need to create php code to hook into that filter
 * e.g.
 *     ```
       function my_em_filter(){
         return 'jS-F';
       }
       add_filter('em_event_save_events_format','my_em_filter');
       ```
   
 * haven’t tested this , but it should do what you are asking for.
