Post Date

[ritchmedia]

Hi,

How do I change the blog date format to display correctly for UK (DD . MM. YY)

Changing the WP date format only seems to change the Recent Posts, not the Blog or the Blog single posts.

Please install and activate the supplied child theme, inside the child theme functions.php file paste this:

    /* POST DATE OUTPUT
    ================================================== */
    if ( ! function_exists( 'nota_post_date' ) ) {
        function nota_post_date( $color = null ) {
            
            $post_date_day = $post_date_month = $post_date_year = $post_date_str = $post_date_output = "";
            
            $post_date_day = get_the_date('d');
            $post_date_month = get_the_date('m');
            $post_date_year = get_the_date('y');
            $post_date_str   = get_the_date('Y-m-d');

            if ( !empty( $color ) ) {
                $post_date_output .= '<div class="narrow-date-block" itemprop="datePublished" ' . $color . '><span class="day">'.$post_date_day.'</span> <span class="date-seperator">&#46;</span> <span class="month">'.$post_date_month.'</span>  <span class="date-seperator">&#46;</span> <span class="year">'.$post_date_year.'</span></div>';
            } else {
                $post_date_output .= '<div class="narrow-date-block" itemprop="datePublished"><span class="day">'.$post_date_day.'</span> <span class="date-seperator">&#46;</span> <span class="month">'.$post_date_month.'</span> <span class="date-seperator">&#46;</span> <span class="year">'.$post_date_year.'</span></div>';
            }
            
            return $post_date_output;
            
        }
    }

Glad to help you out James!

If you have found the theme/support useful, we appreciate it if you can leave feedback on our item as it really helps us also.

Thanks,
David.

I will do.

Since posting I have noticed that after activating the Child Theme there is now what appears to be a shortcode displaying at the very top of the page…

[insert page=’notification’ display=’content’]

Hi James,

That is likely from a plugin, not from the theme specifically.

Thanks.

I have deactivated all plugins and the text is still showing [insert page=’notification’ display=’content’]

It goes away when I reactivate the NOTA theme (rather than NOTA Child)

That’s odd, can you add a WP login/FTP details?

Thanks.

Hi James,

Those credentials are not working for me. Could you check?

Thanks.

Hi David,

Please try again with the details shown above when you have a chance.

thanks,
James

Great, that worked.

Seems to be the shortcode within your widget, from within the Global Banner:

Thanks David.

Yes, I can now see that this is from a redundant plugin.

Appreciate you looking into it form me!

cheers,
