How to remove Year from start date with multi day event occurs in the same year

[Alicia St Rose]

I have a site I’m developing that promotes multi-day retreats.
On the single event page the date reads:

December 12, 2013 thru December 17, 2013

Is there any way to remove the first occurence of the year so that it reads:

December 12 thru December 17, 2013?

Thanks so much!

Hi Alicia,

Yes :

  //Set up formats
  $format_with_year  = 'F d, Y';
  $format_without_year  = 'F d';

  //Set format according to whether the event starts and ends in the same year or not:
  $format = ( eo_get_the_start('Y') == eo_get_the_start('Y') ? $format_without_year: $format_with_year );

  echo eo_get_the_start( $format ) . ' thru ' . eo_get_the_end( $format_with_year );

(I’ve assumed here ‘multiday’ meant long-day, but if you meant a recurring event, a similar method can be used).

It was for a long day event and it worked perfectly!

Thank you so much!
