Overview
Managing the schedules in EventPrime helps ensure that Events are clearly defined for attendees and easy to manage for Organizers. You can set both the start and end date, as well as the time for each Event. Additionally, the plugin allows optional control over the visibility of these settings on the frontend.
Steps to Set Start and End Dates in EventPrime
- Go to the EventPrime menu in your WordPress dashboard and click on the All Events submenu.
2. In the Events list, click Edit to set the date and time for your desired Event
3. On the Edit Event page, go to Event Settings and click on the Date & Time tab.
- Use the fields inside the Date & Time tab to configure the Start Date and Start Time as well as the End Date and End Time..
- You can also choose to hide these from users by enabling the Hide Start Date and Start Time and Hide End Date and End Time checkboxes, depending on whether you want this information publicly visible.
- If you want to add multiple important dates such as setup or rehearsal days, refer to the Additional Dates guide for details.
4. Update the Event to apply the changes.
Frontend View
After updating the Event, the Start Date and Start Time, as well as End Date and End Time will be displayed on the Event page if the visibility options (to hide) are left unchecked. If either is hidden using the checkboxes, the corresponding information will not be displayed to attendees.
Conclusion
Setting start and end dates in EventPrime allows you to display accurate scheduling information for each Event. This ensures clear communication with attendees and smoother planning for Organizers.

Hello, users can submit events without dates or times set, but that’s information that we need. Is there a way to make the date and time fields required for the front end event submission form?
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We’ve confirmed that in the current workflow, the event date field is set as required on the front-end submission form. Users should not be able to submit an event without a date. We have fixed the issue please update latest version of EventPrime.
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
the event time field is NOT set as required on the front-end submission form. Therefore users can add a event without a start time, and it will not auto show..

For a multi-day event, or an event that starts in the evening and ends early the next morning (e.g. an evening concert that starts at 9PM ends at 2AM when the bar closes), I am unable to set the end time properly. The only End Times available in the drop down are are between the Start Time and 11:59.
