    Hi

    I’m using the datepicker on a datefield which is failing to save specific months in my language.
    My WordPress site is in danish and when I save a datefield with March, October, May, February or January in my language (marts, oktober, maj, februar or januar) the date field is empty after pressing save. If I change the month name to english manually everything works.

    13. March 2016 = working
    13. marts 2016 = not working

    Dateformat in datepicker settings: j. F Y
    Dateformat in general settings: j. F Y
    Strict date format: turned off

    It is necessary to use “strict dates” in order to parse month names in languages other than English. I’m sorry about that, but that’s how PHP works.

    Ah!

    Don’t be sorry, I just didn’t know. Thank you!
    Everything works as expected now.
