We have reverted to WordPress 5.2.4 and the times are displaying properly now.

Note that further testing showed this error while editing a Post (not an Event), so I think we can set aside concerns that it is caused by some bug in Events Manager. See this screenshot from editing a Published Post and clicking the Edit link in Publish > “Published on:”

I tested STMP again after fixing a block by Gmail’s SMTP. Test message went through, but still no message was received to the anonymous submitter’s address.

Changing the email method did not work (“PHP mail function” was the only one that generated test messages successfully). Note that confirmations of submissions are being received by the admin.

We don’t use booking, so my answer to your question is yes. I can see the on page confirmation message, “You have successfully submitted your event, which will be published pending approval.”, but no email gets delivered.

I have successfully tested email settings in /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=event&page=events-manager-options#emails.

We’re not seeing emails sent to either users or guests for Event form submissions. Is there a switch we’re missing or a WP configuration we could not have set properly?

By “give more feedback”, I mean that the Submission Successful message that displays at the top of the form is sometimes missed by the casual visitor to the site who submits an event. We want an email to be sent to the submitter so they get notification that their event submission was received.

Event Submission Templates appear to be for sending emails to admin. We want to send a message to submitters (Anonymous Submitter Info > Email) to give more feedback than the Submission Successful message that displays at the top of the form.

You could also try the Social Media Widget plugin. This lets you add a wigdet and choose form a huge list of links to social media sites (even your own custom links). You can choose from one of four icon sets.
