    Hi!

    Nothing happens when changing the date format under Options > General.

    When running the “WordPress Default 1.5” theme I can’t change the date format. But, I have found a theme called “Simple Green”. Using this theme I can change the date format. Peculiar!

    I’m running WordPress 2.0 on a local Apache server.

  • This might be controlled by how your Theme is making use of the Template Tag the_date.

    See also: the_time.

    Thanks MichaelH !

    I did a change in the “WordPress Default 1.5” theme. In index.php I changed,

    <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>

    to

    <?php the_date(); ?> - <?php the_time(); ?>

    Now my date settings in Options > General take effect.

    Thanks for your guidance! ??

    The default theme should do this. It feels completely “broken” for the default theme to not honor the date and time formatting preferences.
