Recent Post Formatting Date

[Patrick-H]

Hi,
i´m using the pagebuilder Recent Posts element (Standard, 3 Col, 3 Items) and need the post date in the format d-m-Y: day (Numeric, with leading zeros ), month (Numeric, with leading zeros) and year (Numeric, 4 digits). How to change/ where to look in the code?!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please open to edit sf-post-formats.php file at /atelier/swift-framework/content/.

Find this code:-

$post_date_str  = get_the_date('Y-m-d');

Change to:-
$post_date_str = get_the_date('d-m-Y');

Thanks
Mohammad

Thanks for your reply, but it does not work – recent posts (via pagebuilder) still have the date format M-d, the archive page M-d-Y. It would be great if both have d-m-Y.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Have you set that format in the WordPress Settings?

You will need to edit this section of the sf-post-formats.php file:

// Open output            
            if ( sf_theme_opts_name() == "sf_atelier_options" && $show_details == "yes" ) {
	    		$post_item .= '<div class="side-details">';
	    		if ( !$remove_dates ) {
	    			$post_date_month = get_the_date('M');
	    			$post_date_day = get_the_date('d');
	    			$post_date_year = get_the_date('Y');
	    			$post_item .= '<div class="side-post-date narrow-date-block" itemprop="datePublished"><span class="month">'.$post_date_month.'</span><span class="day">'.$post_date_day.'</span><span class="year">'.$post_date_year.'</span></div>';
	    		}

Thanks for your reply.

Editing this section just changes the format on the blog (archive) page; no effect on the recent posts element (via pagebuilder).

Any idea where to find the section for that (recent posts element)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I made 2 changes to achieved that.

1- I added this css to your custom css option

.home .recent-posts .figure-wrap .date-overlay {
    width: 90px;
}

2-

function sf_custom_date_figure_overlay() {
		global $post, $sf_options;
		$remove_dates  = $sf_options['remove_dates'];

		if ($remove_dates) {
			return;
		}

		$post_date = get_the_date('d-m-Y');
		
		return '<div class="date-overlay narrow-date-block"><span class="month">'.$post_date.'</span></div>';

	}
	add_filter( 'sf_before_recent_post_thumb', 'sf_custom_date_figure_overlay' );

	function sf_remove_filters(){
		remove_filter( 'sf_before_recent_post_thumb', 'sf_date_figure_overlay' );
	}

	add_action('init', 'sf_remove_filters');

Hope it helps.
