Cannot Change Date Format

    Regardless of changes made in admin settings, the date format remains the same, all numbers, starting with the day–so my posts look like they’re from february. Near as I can tell, functions.php controls the date with this code–but I see nothing wrong here.

    $defaults = array(‘depth’ => 0, ‘show_date’ => ”, ‘date_format’ => get_option(‘date_format’),

    Site is https://fitstorm.blog/

    Thanks for any help!

  • The displayed date on your site is governed by the the_time and/or the_date tags in the theme’s templates files. So you need to edit your theme’s files.

    Thanks esmi. I know http, not much css (yet). Searching all transblack theme files, I see “the_date” only once, and that’s in archives.php

    I changed d-m-y to m-d-y, but it makes no difference; posts still show (for example) 03-09-2010 when I want them to read September 3, 2010.

    Any suggestions for the css-impaired?

    Thanks again.

    Okay, making progress by changing d-m-Y to m-d-Y everywhere I find it. Still doesn’t spell out the month, though. Working it here. Also this in attachments.php:

    And I’m a little baffled by one ref in attachments.php which says on <?php the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?> at <?php the_time() ?>.

    Thanks for the pointer!

    Changed everything I could find to l, F j, Y

    Does the trick, thanks!
