The fix is simple.
Open this file in a text editor:
bp-simple-events-pro/inc/js/events.js
Find: dateFormat: ‘DD, MM d, yy’
For Europe, change it to: dateFormat: ‘dd-mm-yy’ Or whatever you prefer
You will then need to :
* upload the edited events.js file
* clear your browser cache ( just the files ) to insure that the js file reloads
* edit any existing Events and reset the date

Place this function in your theme > functions.php

$args = array( "child_of" => -1 );
return $args;
}
add_filter( "event_cat_args_filter", "pp_events_category_filter", 1, 1 );
