mobile ignores the date format that entered in settings

I would like you check if the browser is overriding the datepicker functionality? Sometimes Google Chrome does that.

Hi Fahad, thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Home pc (chrome,edge,firefox) is working correctly. = mm/dd/yy

but on all the below I am getting = dd/mm/yy
home mobile:
– firefox
– chrome
browserstack:
– android samsung note 4, v4.4 firefox
– iOS 6s v9 safari

so doesnt seem to be chrome related. seems like the mobile is not recognizing the dateformat setting, or is converting it to its native html5 format, as if a type=”date’ was being used instead.

wondering if it would make a difference if I put the date format script/code directly into the footer. any ideas on what the code would be to try this please?

or other ideas please
Best regards
Joe

theme- various raw themes including twentyseventeen etc currently a barebones theme

Yes, type input date will be handled by mobile devices and modern browsers. It’s recommended that you use input type text to avoid conflict.

Sorry Fahad.. But I am using type=text for the inputs.

“so doesnt seem to be chrome related. seems like the mobile is not recognizing the dateformat setting, or is converting it to its native html5 format, AS IF (the same as, like) a type=”date’ was being used instead.”

Ok, I check your implementation from source code.

I have just tested it, on mobile phone it’s changing the date format. I am going to install datepicker on a demo website and then will check that URL on mobile. In case i will produce the same error there, then it would be easy to rectify. Wait a little more, i will keep you updated.

Hi Fahad,
I have just done a fresh install of wp at hostgator
and mobiles for that install are returning MM dd, yy (June 28, 2018)

First sever is in Australia, second in America.

So now Im wondering if it is due to a date format set on the servers or in the hosting php?

Your thoughts please
Will keep looking, I’m hoping php.ini might give me some insite.

sorry forgot the put the url for the fresh hostgator install

I tried it on my demo website as well. Happening the same thing, on mobile it’s changing the dateformat. I have an idea, will try and update you soon.

I have found the issue, in fact you were using the Australian (region) Javascript file which was coming with a default dateFormat. I have just updated the script so in case you choose a different language other than default, still it should override the dateFormat functionality according to the input box dateFormat provided on settings page.

Please find the latest version and try. Your feedback is appreciated.

I have already mentioned your name in changelog.

Hi Fahad,

I have updated both installs and retested across the various devices.
(USA with default lang, and Australia with au lang)

Both are now working correctly as intended.

Thank you so much for your help.
