Wrong time format (24h) when entering event (german site)

Hi szerner,

By default the plug-in tries to guess what format (12 hour or 24 hour) you want to input events based on the time format option in your site’s General settings. So if the time format is 12 hour, events are entered using 12 hour time, and vice-versa.

You can change the format in which you enter events by adding the following to a utility plug-in or theme’s functions.php:

//To force time input to 24 hour time
add_filter( 'eventorganiser_blog_is_24', '__return_true' );

//To force time input to 12 hour time
add_filter( 'eventorganiser_blog_is_24', '__return_false' );

Please note that this affects only time entry and not the display of times in the calendars, widgets, or templates. These typically use the time format option in Settings > General but can also be changed via widget settings, shortcode attributes, or editing the templates.

Hi Stephen,

thank you very much for your quick answer, that solved my issue. Now the time format shows and works as expected.

I have the same problem, the hours in pop-up are of non standard format (am and pm are translated eg. 2pm is inserted as 2pop which made an error) so in event the time shown was always 0.

The string for 24h inserted into my theme’s functions.php solved the issue but I’m afraid many European users have this problem.

Hi pcmanija,

What language are you using? I think this may be a bug when ‘pm’ and ‘am’ are translated, and 12 hour time is used in the settings (as above – by default input time format is determined by the time settings). French, Italian, Portugal and I think German sites (for example) should be fine as they do not have translations for ‘pm’ and ‘am’ (or if they it is the same as the English).
