# Error: sql date is not valid

 * I am trying to create a new event and have this error: “Error: sql date is not
   valid” – I have tried using the calendar and typing the date in, get the same
   thing. Sometimes I do get that error to go away, but as soon as I hit “Save Changes”
   I get: “Fix date format errors” in a popup? Any suggestions? I am running Version
   8.5.
    thanks

 * So this is happening every time? I can’t reproduce the error without actually
   typing something invalid into the sql date field.
 * SQL format should be something like 2021-03-02 10:00:00
 * If you type in March 2, 2021 10:00 AM, the sql date field should be populated
   automatically in the correct format.

 * Yes, every time I hit “Add New” the “Error: sql date is not valid” is already
   showing up under the Date/Time. It is putting in todays date, just like you have
   it. Don’t know if I should try to re-install?
    thanks

 * I did figure out that it is Safari that is causing the issue. When I login to
   my site from Firefox the issue goes away? I am able to create a new event!
    I
   am having an issue with the RSVP pulling in css (from my theme) into the “paying_for_tickets”
   part of the form, the NAME, EMAIL, etc.. registering “formfield” part is correct
   and does not have any extra <span class>? Any ideas on this? thanks
