get_the_date() does not support parameters?

    I found a problem woth the handling of your get_the_date()function.

    I am using the Retro-theme (https://themeforest.net/item/retro-premium-vintage-wordpress-theme/5075763). On the blog-page it shows a modified date. This is accomplished by using fomatting-parameters on the get_the_date()-function. After a look in the sourcecode of the Ceceppa-plugin it seems to me, that you do not evaluate any formatting-strings in your version of the function.

    function get_the_date() {
    global $post;
    $format = $this->_current_language->cml_date_format;
    if( empty( $format ) ) $format = get_option( 'date_format' );
    return mysql2date( $format, $post->post_date );
  }

    Can you give me instructions on how to change your code so it honors the formatstrings? (e.g. “j” or “F”)

    Thanks in advance!

    I fixed the problem in 1.3.47, but it isn’t already done….
    Replace the previous function “get_the_date” with that:

    function get_the_date( $the_date, $d ) {
    global $post;

    if( empty( $d ) ) {
    $format = $this->_current_language->cml_date_format;
    if( empty( $format ) ) $format = get_option( ‘date_format’ );

    $the_date = mysql2date( $format, $post->post_date );
    }

    return $the_date;
    }

    Thank you very much for the fast reply!

    Unfortunately this does not work. If I replace the function, I get the following error at the date position:

    Warning: Missing argument 2 for CeceppaML::get_the_date() in /var/www/web8/html/wp-content/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/ceceppaml.php on line 3499

    AFAIK get_the_date() only takes one parameter, the format string.

    But if I remove $the_date from the parameter list the fields in the html are empty, I guess the function does not return any data.

    I tried this:

    function get_the_date( $d ) {
    global $post;

    if( empty( $d ) ) {
        $format = $this->_current_language->cml_date_format;
      }
      else $format = $d;

      if( empty( $format ) ) $format = get_option( 'date_format' );

      $the_date = mysql2date( $format, $post->post_date );

    return $the_date;
  }

    But then the returned value is:

    DiUTC350UTC12bUTCTue, 17 Dec 2013 15:39:29 +0000

    if I provide “F” as a formatstring. “j” does seem to work, however. “M” returns values like FrUTC360 or +0000k31

    Try to change the line:

    add_filter( 'get_the_date', array( &$this, 'get_the_date' ), 0 );

    in:

    add_filter( 'get_the_date', array( &$this, 'get_the_date' ), 0, 2 );
