 * Hi Jeroen,
 * I noticed that you had included a date format. I tried to implement it on our
   site (moview.nl), where until now I’ve adjusted the date format of WordPress 
   itself to ‘D d M’ to only show day and month for event dates. This causes all
   dates to be shown like that, which is not always handy.
    Thus I changed the {{
   date}}{{time}} for events to {{datetime|date(D d M)}} (On which I found out the
   quotes aren’t necessary, they showed up on the rendered page), and it worked 
   fine. But then I saw that the upcoming productions showed full dates, including
   year, like 2 februari 2017 t/m 4 maart 2017. I tried to adjust the field {{dates}}
   likewise, but this didn’t work. Logical, since this wasn’t mentioned in the shortcode
   list. So I changed the General WordPress date to (D d M) again so the site looks
   as it was before. Is it possible to apply the format adjustment to dates also?
