[EventCalendar] I would like to remove the event date from my posts

[Sara Cormeny]

Thanks for the email.  I did try this per the documentation, but it  
didn't work the first time, and so I thought maybe it either wasn't  
working for some reason, or it wasn't what I thought it was.  My  
fault, I should have tried again!  Once I did, about 10 minutes after  
sending the email, it worked just as it should have.  I don't know  
what went wrong -- maybe I didn't click "Update Options..." or was  
cached and didn't refresh or something ... I'm sure it was user error  
of some sort.

I think the word "schedule" in the documentation also did confuse me,  
so thank you for being so kind to respond with such a nice question.   
To me, the schedule is the list of all the upcoming events in the  
calendar, not just the date & time of one event.  So the thing in the  
red box in a post is perhaps the "scheduled date and time of the  
event", or the "event date and time values for the post."  In both  
the documentation and in the plugin's control panel, I think that  
would be clearer because it seems more accurate to me.

Alternatively or in addition, in your documentation, I think you  
might try to set up a convention of distinguishing between "post- 
time" (the timestamp for the post) and "event-time" (the date and  
time entered in the Event Editor; the date and time the event takes  
place).  So every time the word "time" appears in your documentation,  
or the notion of the date & time, you can make it clear to which one  
you are referring and reassure the reader.

I would love to see more screenshots and examples in the  
documentation of the plugin -- that would be helpful.  If I could  
help by taking screenshots and sending them to you, I'd be happy to try!

I really like using eventcalendar and I like all the improvements  
you've made during the last few months.  Thanks again for writing!

Yours, Sara
