Take the 2-minute tour ×   Using Wordpress plugin Events
Manager, my goal is to alter the search form so it searches for
events on single dates. I don't want a date range search which
is built in.  Most of my events are nightclub events, which
carry on to the next day. Therefore, I also want to alter the
event search so that if i search for say Saturday August 18th, I
don't want it to display events that started on friday but ended
on saturday at 3am.  share|improve this question add comment  2
Answers  I solved this. First add  $args['scope'] =
$_REQUEST['scope'][0];   to the events-list.php under the line:
This will stop the search from finding a date range and only
search single dates. Then in events-search.php, remove the
second box for end-date.  then in events manager plugin folder
"classes" file em-events.php  This is what it should look like
from line 196. Please note, I got rid of the extra spaces
between lines so my line 196 may not be the same as yours.. do a
search for "if ( $events_count > 0 )"
