General
Overview
Find these under Events → Settings, in General. They set event addresses and how dates, times and addresses look everywhere events appear.
These settings used to be under Appearance → Customize → Dirigible Events. They moved with the same values, so there's nothing to set again, and old links to the Customizer open the new page. On a site whose Dirigible theme hasn't updated yet, they're still in the Customizer.
Settings
- Slug: the part of each event's address after your domain (default
events, as in/events/spring-concert/). Event addresses switch to the new slug when you save, and old addresses usually redirect to the new ones. - Events Page: your main events page. Event pages link back to it.
- Date Format: dates without the year (default
F j, shown as June 23) - Date Format (with Year): dates with the year (default
F j, Y, shown as June 23, 2026) - Always show year?: add the year to dates even for this year's events
- Time Format: start and end times (default
g:i a, shown as 7:00 pm) - Address Separator: what goes between the parts of an address (default a comma)
Select Save Settings at the bottom of the page. You need an Administrator or Manager account.
Tips
- Date and time formats use the same codes as Settings → General in WordPress.
- Pages the site has already cached can take a little while to show a change.
