Dates are prefixed with extra number

This is "Number of days to event" in the date format.
In order to change or hide this completely please go to Settings -> Layout -> Entry date format

Oops, in your case you need to change "Day header date format".
Actually, the same Day header date format was before v.4.0, but at that time only "Yesterday", "Today" and "Tomorrow" were shown. Now this format shows larger numbers of days as digits.

Ah ok thanks! Was this in a recent update? Because it really shouldn't change a user's layout.

Also for me it is actually the day header date format that had a different format than expected.

I also had this issue and the developer pointed me to this thread 🙂

Changing 'Day header date format' to 'Default with Weekday' fixed it 👍

As you noticed, there is no exactly the same Date Format for a Day header, as before v.4.0: that was a mix of currently present "Default with Number of days to event" with "Default with Weekday" (but not both in any one day!). And this is why I had to choose one of these two during upgrade.
If you want to have both "Number of days to event" and "Weekday" present in one date, you can use Custom format, which allows you to create any combination of formats. See and start with "Pattern example"...

Anyway, I think that I will change default value of "Day header date format" to "Default with Weekday" as it looks like more people prefer this.

I think that's a good idea, personally. It wasn't clear that the numbers were a countdown to the event. Also, the fact that the widget headers changed when the app updated may frustrate a lot of people, and only a few (such as myself and cas) would find a way to fix it. You don't want people uninstalling, it benefits no one.

In v.4.0.10 ( see #3 ) I improved the "Default with Number of days to event" Date format.
Now it shows "in N days" and "N days ago" after a date instead of (confusing) numbers without any words. "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" are shown before a date, as before.
