How to change the format of the Date Metadata

Hello @Hussein_Nassar, welcome to our forum!

We’re glad to find out that we have users from Lebanon! The date format has been a topic of dicussion here a couple of times, since we’re still figuring out how to properly make it compatible with all the different locations. While in the database it is saved as yyyy-mm-dd, in the interface it shows different, and there are two settings that are relevant for it:

  • The WordPress date settings (see how to change it here), which is used to display the date value in the metadata when edition is completed.
  • The browser language, which is the reference used by the Datepicker in the item metadata edition form.

In your question, you seem to have wrongfully typed both dates formats equally, but my best guess is that your browser is set to your native language (Arabic, French? Forgive my ignorance on this)… would that be the case?

Hope we can find the solution for this and any other issues, We’re curious to see what you are working on!
