Got it. Thanks for your help.
FWIW, here’s how I edited your plugin:

	$d1 = strtotime($start_date_full);
	$d2 = strtotime($end_date_full);

	$inner .= formatDateRange($d1, $d2);
// Calculate the date range
function formatDateRange($d1, $d2) {
	$startThisYear = $startEndYear = '';
	if (date( 'Y' ) === date('Y', $d1)) {$startThisYear = 1;}
	if (date( 'Y' ) === date('Y', $d2)) {$endThisYear = 1;}
	#event starts THIS year

    if (date('Y-m-d', $d1) === date('Y-m-d', $d2)) {
        # Same day
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j, Y', $d1);
	        }
    } elseif (date('Y-m', $d1) === date('Y-m', $d2)) {
        # Same calendar month
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - j', $d2);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - j, Y', $d2);
	        }
    } elseif (date('Y', $d1) === date('Y', $d2)) {
        # Same calendar year
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - M j', $d2);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - M j, Y', $d2);
	        }
    } else {
        # General case (spans calendar years)
        return date('M j, Y', $d1) . date(' - M j, Y', $d2);
    }
}

Thanks for this. This gets me close to what I need. I can hide the time using CSS.
I still need a bit of help with events that span more than one day. If I hide the timerange_separator so I don’t get “AUG 16 -” for single-day events, I end up with “AUG 3, 2018AUG 6, 2018” (NO separator) for multi-day events. Also, as you see in my example, the startdate year shows up in multi-day events where the year is not THIS year. (It formats the date range ‘correctly’ for multi-day events coming up THIS year.)

(see my example ‘Upcoming Events’ here: https://mhv.psone.ca/

sorry, but the search field IS working properly — my error. and now as i check some of the pages i believe the ‘old’ 1.9.3 version of datatables.js is not there either! maybe the w3-total-cache plugin was doing too good a job! sorry about that.

wow! you are amazing! fixed it just like that. i only wish you could do the same for my map plugin! danke sch?n!

okay. it seems i have to choose between using tablepress OR using wp-google-maps. here’s my page:

there is a ‘map’ tab and a ‘rates’ tab — when i activate your plugin my maps stop working (i’m inserting the map on the first tab [‘overview’] and on the ‘maps’ tab). but the table works! when i deactivate tablepress the map shows up. check the console log and that’s where i see the error.

thanks for your quick response.
