Title: Time Format Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Time Format * Resolved [texins5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/texins5/) * (@texins5) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/) * Is there a way to change the time format to use the 12-hour clock with am/pm, rather than the 24-hour clock? Here in the U.S., that’s what most people are used to reading. * Love the look of the events on the front end.

But yes, you can change it after making customisation in the following file; * simple-event-planner/templates/single-event/event-time.php * Thanks for Using SEP & Happy Code Customisation . * Thanks & Regards, PressTigers * Thread Starter [texins5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/texins5/) * (@texins5) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687246) * I’m definitely not a programmer, but I feel like I would need to modify the functions. php for this, and not the template file. I can see where the time format and date format are set in simple-event-planner-template-functions.php. * Is there any way I can make these changes using the Code Snippet plugin, so they won’t be affected by your next update? Or am I completely wrong here? * Any advice would be greatly appreciated! The date and time formats are not what my U.S. visitors are used to and could be a deal-breaker for this client. * Plugin Author [PressTigers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/presstigers/) * (@presstigers) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687296) * Dear Texins * Your are right that main code of time format is reside in this file **simple- event-planner-template-functions.php**. But if you will change this file, next release will override your changes. * So, as we mentioned previously that go to the following file **simple-event- planner/templates/single-event/event-time.php** and read the instruction in header section that how you can modify this template & then make your changes. * Let us know for our further assistance! * Thanks & Regards, PressTigers * Thread Starter [texins5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/texins5/) * (@texins5) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687303) * I understand what you are saying about which file to modify, but I don’t see anything in that file about the time or date formatting. Do I need to add something for that? I have no idea what to add. Can you help? * Plugin Author [PressTigers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/presstigers/) * (@presstigers) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687304) * Hello Texins, * First thing you need to do is; **Override this template by copying it to yourtheme/ simple_event_planner/single-event/event-time.php** * Then write custom code to change the time format according to your need. After writing your code, you can comment or remove previous code which is showing time in 24 hour format. * Thanks & Regards, PressTigers * Thread Starter [texins5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/texins5/) * (@texins5) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687307) * But when I look at the file you are referencing (event-time.php), I don’t see anywhere that it specifies the 24 hour format. I only see that in the functions. php. I’m not sure what code to add and what to take out on this template file. Can you please be more specific? I really appreciate your help. * If I can’t fix this, I’ll have to use something else for my events, and I haven’t seen anything else that has this nice layout. * Plugin Author [PressTigers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/presstigers/) * (@presstigers) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/time-format-10/#post-7687328) * Dear Texins, * This is purely programmer’s job to make customisation in plugin.
