Trying to build a simple event calendar for a band theme. Just wondering if there’s a simple way to achieve this. I’m trying to make it as simple as possible, so I was trying to avoid using a free, or premium plugin.

Something I can style similar to this:

Edit: 

<span class="show_day">
<?php $date = new DateTime(get_field('show_date'));
echo $date->format('d'); ?></span>
<span class="show_month"><?php $date = new DateTime(get_field('show_date'));
echo $date->format('F'); ?></span>

Is there a better way to do this?

  1. I did it this way:

    $date = new DateTime(get_field('date_field'));
echo $date->format('d F'); // should print 07 August
echo $date->format('h:i A'); // should print 09:30 PM

    Have a look at function.date and datetime.format.

    <span class="date"><?php echo $date->format('d F'); ?></span>
<span class="time"><?php echo $date->format('h:i A'); ?></span>
