 * WordPress 4.6 introduced localized datepickers. While this is good news it does
   mean the QEM doesn’t work quite as expected.
 * If your event dates are wrong try this version: [http://quick-plugins.com/wp-content/uploads/quick-event-manager.zip](http://quick-plugins.com/wp-content/uploads/quick-event-manager.zip)
 * If it works please let me know.
 * For those who like to know the reasons why:
 * The plugin converts the dates to a timestamp. The easiest way to do this is using
   the php function strtotime. But strtotime only works on English date formats,
   if the date is in any other language it fails and the plugin displays today’s
   date. So I’ve changed the plugin to force the datepicker to use English date 
   formats. The date will still display on your local language but you have to use
   an English format to create and edit events.
