new_gist_file.md

The following sample code can be added to your child theme's functions.php file or in a site specific plugin.

It will show the date time with only the time. This will apply to the event listings page and the single event pages.

<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag

//* Override default list of event dates function to show only the time
if ( ! function_exists( 'espresso_list_of_event_dates' )) {
	/**
	 * espresso_list_of_event_dates
	 * returns a unordered list of dates for an event
	 *
	 * @param int    $EVT_ID
	 * @param string $date_format
	 * @param string $time_format
	 * @param bool   $echo
	 * @param null   $show_expired
	 * @param bool   $format
	 * @param bool   $add_breaks
	 * @param null   $limit
	 * @return string
