EVERYONE is plural.
The verb must match.
HAS is plural.
HAVE is singular
“I hope everyone has a good day” is correct. The other version is not correct.
According to Longman:
GRAMMAR: Singular or plural verb?
Use a singular verb after everyone:
Everyone likes her.
As the same question posed 11 years ago, Yaktivistdotcom’s public answer is as follows (I am an English learner too).
“Everyone, have a good time” would be proper with the comma indicating that you are talking to “everyone” and instructing them to have a good time. “Everyone has a good time” would be right if you were talking about everyone in the third person.
