 * Hi,
    Is there any way to change the date and time display for an event? I use
   a meta data from your plugin to create a slider and the date/time doesn’t look
   very appealing: [http://awesomescreenshot.com/0864elxrf6](http://awesomescreenshot.com/0864elxrf6)
   I would prefer something like Day, Month Date, Year – time to Day, Month Date,
   Year I couldn’t find it how to do it using meta data:[https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-post-meta-data/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-post-meta-data/)
   Thank you, Lana

 * Howdy Lana,
 * You definitely can do that. Checkout these two functions, you can pass them a
   PHP date formatting specifier and thus get any format you want:
