# Date format using shortcode

 * Is there a way to reformat dates when populating event lists with shortcodes?
   At this time future dates are shown as – April 2020 30 * Event Name. Ideally 
   it would be best – April 30 2020 * Event Name.
 * Any recommendation is appreciated.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@nylsweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nylsweb/)
 * Check the different date format settings under Events > Settings > Display tab.
 * The one you need is ‘Date with year’ and this
    `F j Y` should give you `September
   12 2019`
 * Hope this helps.
 * Cheers,
    Andras

 * András, thanks for your response!
 * Yes, the “Date with Year” is already set to F j, Y and future dates are still
   being displayed as September 2020 12.
