First day of week is wrong
-
In Canada, we use Sunday as the first day of the week. But my calendar is showing Monday as the first day of the week. It does not respect the “week starts on” setting in WordPress and seems to do this based on locale. My site is in French and English. When the calendar opens in french, it shows Monday as the first day of the week (wrong), but when it’s on an English page it shows Sunday.
This is a big problem because the site visitor could see the event on the calendar in the second column and think it’s a monday event, when it’s really on tuesday, unless they read it carefully and even notice the weekdays listed at the top.
Is there a way to override this?

Hey there,
The first day of the week is based on the locale setting of the WordPress time zone setting or the locale shortcode parameter.
Since you always need to show the first day of the week as Monday, take a look at the docs article linked below for the little JS snippet that will allow you to set the first day as Sunday.
You can drop that in a Custom HTML block below the calendar, or even in your template if you’re adding the calendar dynamically.
Hope this helps,
