“Americanized” dates

[Kevin Hemphill]

I’ve noticed on the user manual some instructions on how to change the date appearance to be more “Americanized”. In other words, I’d like the date to show in the format of Friday, September 3, 2021 (month day year instead of day month year). Where would I go to make that change exactly?

Hi Kevin,
Have you looked that the settings page, schedule tab? There are other things that can be done for internationalization, but this is the place to start.

I have looked at that, but I’m not finding the option I’m looking for. The closest I can find is “Tuesday, 07 April 2013” or “Tuesday, 7 April 2013”. I cannot find an option for “Tuesday, April 7, 2013” which is what I’m referring to as an “Americanized” date.

There is a filter that allows you to do whatever you want with date and time formats. https://shoalsummitsolutions.com/lm-actions-filters/

Thank you! That helped! I found on one of the dev pages where you had formatted the date within the shortcode and inserted that into the shortcode I was using with the PHP date/time format I was looking for to get the desired result. Thanks so much!

Excellent.
