I want to use my own custom string to show date of posts. I’ve set everything in General Settings > Date Format, but theme still shows dates in format DAY, MONTH DATE, YEAR (i.e. Saturday, August 16th, 2014).
Please follow these instructions:
1. open inc/php/template-tags.php
2. find this line:
esc_html( get_the_date('l, F jS, Y') )
and change it to read:
esc_html( get_the_date(get_option('date_format')) )
3. save
For styles used in most European countries, you should use these:
- j. F Y. (16. August 2014) or
- j. m. Y. (16. 08. 2014.)
