This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to convert his date time from the database that was created using The Events Calendar plugin. The customer retrieved the value using [wpv-post-field name='_EventStartDateUTC']
Solution:
This was actually done by using a custom shortcode.
// Add Shortcode
function change_date( $atts ) {
// Attributes
$atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
'date' => '',
'format' => '',
),
$atts
);
$originalDate = $atts['date'];
$newDate = date($atts['format'], strtotime($originalDate));
return $newDate;
}
add_shortcode( 'change_date', 'change_date' );
The shortcode above takes a date in any format and converts it to the desired format.
Example
[change_date date="[wpv-post-field name='_EventStartDateUTC']" format='Y-m-d H:i:s"']
