Hi there,

If you're making changes and don't see anything happen, be sure you cleared your browser cache and/or any caching plugins you might be using.

If that doesn't help, please provide a link to your site with those changes and I'll take a look.

Best,

Chris

Hi!
I managed to change the times in post-form.php successfully.

But wasn't able to change the date format.

I changed

//DATE PICKER
    jQuery('#postDate').datepicker({
    	altFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    	dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    	nextText: "→",
    	prevText: "←",
    	dayNamesMin: [ "S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" ]
    });

to:

//DATE PICKER
    jQuery('#postDate').datepicker({
    	altFormat: "dd-mm-yy",
    	dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy",
    	nextText: "→",
    	prevText: "←",
    	dayNamesMin: [ "S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" ]
    });

I first just changed dateFormat: "dd-mm-yy", (notting changed) and then also changed altFormat.
Notting helped. What have I done wrong.

I also have one more questing regarding this...
In the US the week seams to start on Sundays, but here it starts on Mondays. Can I change witch day comes first in the calendar by changing dayNamesMin: [ "S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" ] to: dayNamesMin: ["M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" , "S"]

Just need to ask before i I mess something totally up ;-)

Hi there,

The submission form has to have the times manually hard coded so that they can appear in a drop down. You can adjust the format for the time in post-form.php on lines 146-241.

For the date, you can adjust the format in custom.js on lines 136-143...

//DATE PICKER
    jQuery('#postDate').datepicker({
    	altFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    	dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd",
    	nextText: "&rarr;",
    	prevText: "&larr;",
    	dayNamesMin: [ "S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" ]
    });

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

Hi!

In Norway where I live the normal way to write the date is:
31. oktober 2014
and time from 00:00 to 24.00

i have chosen this formats in Wordpress. But even so the format of date and time in the submission form is still american.
Way doesn't it pick these formats from WP? That would have been great :-)
People here doesn't really understand the difference between AM and PM (or we mix them up and don't remember what's what) So: I need to change this. But how...?
