If you need to change the birth date format in Event Tickets Plus to display as day\/month\/year (DD\/MM\/YYYY)<\/strong> instead of the default format (month\/day\/year)<\/strong>, you can do so by creating a template override. This process requires some basic PHP\/HTML knowledge and the use of a Child Theme<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re comfortable with these, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To modify the birth date format, override the default template file. Navigate to the following directory in your WordPress installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/wp-content\/plugins\/event-tickets-plus\/src\/views\/v2\/components\/meta\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Locate the file birth.php<\/strong>, then copy and paste it into your theme\u2019s directory, maintaining the following structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[your-theme]\/tribe\/tickets-plus\/v2\/components\/meta\/birth.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the tribe\/tickets-plus\/v2\/components\/meta\/<\/strong> folders do not exist in your theme, create them manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the copied birth.php<\/strong> file in a text editor and locate line 48<\/strong>, where the birth date format is defined. Swap the placement of the month and day as shown below to ensure the format is DD\/MM\/YYYY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After making the necessary changes, save the modified birth.php<\/strong> file. You should have the following results below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Important Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This customization applies only if you are using the Birth Date field<\/strong> in your Attendee Information settings as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, please ensure you’ve added the birth.php<\/strong> file in your Child Theme<\/strong>; otherwise, your changes might be lost when updating your theme. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
