Date format "broken"

  • I just completed an install of a fresh new WordPress site on BlueHost, and have been tweaking the individual settings to get things in place. But two things are utterly confounding:

    1) My date format is set to “January 30, 2012”, but is displaying “30/1/2012”. I tried setting a custom date format to see if I could force it to display correctly, but as soon as the settings save, it RESETS back to the top option no matter what I do.

    2) Related to #1, I want my week to start on Sunday. But when I set it, save it, and the page is refreshed, it has reset back to the default Monday start.

    I have only one Plug In installed, and I made sure it was deactivated just in case there was any weirdness conflicting, but nope. The date format is stuck, and the start of the week is stuck.

    I have been doing Google searches for this for two hours now, and clearly I am not searching for the right term, because I can’t see others with this same issue and I am going utterly batty in no time. I have tried setting a new theme, resetting defaults and trying again, and nothing doing. I can’t possibly be the only one experiencing this? Any help is so welcome, and the faster the better! Haha!

  • Try a different theme and see if it helps. Regardless of how you’ve set your date/time, your theme can override it with something else.

    I did try a few different themes. Still nothing. I wonder if something about the Plug In changed a setting in the DB that I can manually set…?Hrm.

    Try a brand new test installation into a test folder and try changing around the date settings on it and see if it works. If it does, then a change or plugin or such that you used on your current installation must have broken it.
