 * Hi,
    if I set the date format (in the formatting panel) so: DD, d MM yy in order
   to get the italian date format Mercoledì, 6 febbraio 2013, I get instead this
   strange format “merWed, febFeb 06 1313”. How can I solve it? Thanks

 * Hi,
 * I tried this one and seems to be working fine; using EM Settings > Formatting
   > Date/Time > Date Format then paste `l, d F Y`

 * Hi,
    thank you so much, now it works in the events page, but in the Events list
   widget the format remains “2 mar 13”. I’ve tried to change the format directly
   in events-manager/widgets/em-events.php in this way: `'format' => '#_EVENTLINK
   <ul><li>#d #F #Y</li><li>#_LOCATIONTOWN</li></ul>'` but with no results. Any 
   further suggestions? Thanks!

 * you can change that using Appearance > Widgets > Events > List item format then
   change `#j #M #y` to `#l, #d #F #Y`

    Thanks!
