date format doesn't change

  • Changing the date format in Settings/General doesn’t have any effect. I’ve now tested with two sites, tried also change language, no effect.

    In admin view dashboard the date is in the desired format, but in frontend not.

    Thanks for any input!

  • Hello lieska,
    you have to hardcode your theme or child theme, to change date.

    dyrer – date formats are not something usually hard-coded in the theme, they come from WordPress Core.

    lieska – could you provide a link to your site and let us know which format you’re trying to change it to?

    Also let us know what languages settings you’ve tried.

    Hi Kathryn, I would think also that dates come from core settings, but for some reason they don’t now change. I have tried English and Finnish. The language changes, but the format doesn’t, what ever format I try, it just sticks in same format “27 Jan 2016”. Site: https://wp3.sauna.fi/
    Also I checked the theme (themify ultra) documentation and tried according to their instructions, but with no success.

    It’s possible this theme does something unusual with dates so they’re not being localized/internationalized properly. If the problem only happens with this theme, as a next step you might want to contact the theme developer, since is a premium theme we don’t have access to and that provides their own support:
