I have a course with the format i sections which I want to change to weekly format. I have changed that in the course settings but the dates for the course doesn´t show up on the course page as they do when I start a new course with weekly format. How do I get the course sections to change to week sections?

Did you set a course start and end date? If your course start date is too far in the past or not set, it might not work well. Also, if your topics were renamed, they might overwrite the week dates. If you edit each topic, you might see custom checked--uncheck it and it should reset to the date.

When I start a new course I can choose how many weeks I want but when I change from section format to weekly format there is now possibility to choose the number of weeks.

If you don't have enough weeks, you have to add them to the course page itself by turning editing on and clicking the Add topics at the bottom right. Add a topic or two and see what the new topics look like.
