    Good Day,

    The Date format presented in the Delete Cache Logs section of your plugin can be confusing to many users and does not agree with the standards of many countries.

    Based on the above, and to avoid confusion, it would be great if you can update your plugin as follows:

    1. Change the “Date” heading to “Timestamp” since both the date and time are presented in this field. (reference)
    2. Use the date and time format selected by the Admin User in WP Menu > Settings > General.

    The above would be extremely helpful.

    Thank you ??

    Awesome. Glad you agree.

    Also, while modifying the affected files, it would be nice if you can change “Delete Cache Logs” to “Clear Cache Logs” (details) I believe this is consistent with your new nomenclature (i.e., use “clear” vs “delete”).

    Cheers!

    The date format and the time format of wordpress is used. what do you think?

    Looks great. Questions:

    1. So, that is a “dynamic” filed now, correct?
    2. What about the time zone? Is your proposed code change also picking that up?
    3. Do you also plan to change the “Date” heading to “Timestamp”?

    Thank you.

    Exactly

    3. Do you also plan to change the “Date” heading to “Timestamp”?

    No. Even WordPress uses the word ‘Date.’

    I don’t agree with everything that Team WordPress establishes.

    So, to avoid confusion and indicate what the column actually displays, I recommend using then “Date and Time” (preferred) or “Date / Time” in lieu of “Date” alone.

    Cheers ??

    I agree with you, but can you show me an example of a website that uses the title ‘Date and Time,’ please?

    Why follow when you can lead?

    Useful Info: https://www.wordnik.com/words/timestamp

    Also, WordPress considers “Date” and “Time” two separate variables.

    Technically, it’s “Timestamp” or “Date and Time“

    Your call. No need to belabor. ??

    The timestamp is like 1719412245 in the programming language.

    In this case, we’re talking about a human-readable timestamp. Please refer to this reference and this one for the definition of timestamp (one of many examples).

    Oh well, said my peace ??

    Update:

    Topic resolved. I tested the beta-version of this plugin (provided by the developer) and can confirm the new “Date” display format works well. In addition, we changed the column header title “Date” to “Timestamp” to reflect better what the “Date” column displays. (results)

    Thank you, Emre.

    Cheers!
