Problem:

The issue here was that the user was using the event calendar plugin to display their date fields, however when retrieving the date values with the [wpv-post-field name="_EventStartDate"] shortcode that our views plugin provides they are getting a timestamp value.

Solution:

To resolve this you will need to use some custom code to convert the timestamp to a human readable format.

Add the following to your toolset custom code section in Toolset->Settings-> Custom code and activate it.

// Add Shortcode
function format_date( $atts ) {
 
    // Attributes
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
            'date' => '',
        ),
        $atts
    );
 
    $date = $atts['date'];
     
    return date("l M, d, Y", strtotime($date));
 
}
add_shortcode( 'format_date', 'format_date' );

This shortcode will convert the timestamp into a human readable date.

An example usage is [format_date date="[wpv-post-field name='_EventStartDate']"]
