 * Hi,
 * every time I try to add a new event I got this message:
 * Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘The following date 
   time ‘7 April, 2015 12:28 pm’ can not be parsed by PHP due to it’s formatting.
   
   You may need to choose a more standard date time format. Please check your WordPress
   Settings.’ in D:\xampp\htdocs\sefip2015\wp-content\plugins\event-espresso-decaf\

 * Ok, thank you Lorenzo: now the problem is fixed.
    But, why I just can select 
   Canada and USA for new events? What about other countries in the world?
 * Kind regards.

 * Hi, the active countries in the countries dropdown menu can be changed through
   WP-admin –> Event Espresso –> General Settings –> Countries.
