| September 5, 2013 at 3:49 am how can i change the DATE FORMAT TO (‘l, d. F Y’) in this query: <?php
$key_1_value = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘event_start_date’, true );
// check if the custom field has a value
if( ! empty( $key_1_value ) ) {
echo $key_1_value;
}
?> Changes in Setting > General, under Date Format have no effect ;( |

| September 5, 2013 at 5:35 am Wohoo! Works, thanks. But these dates are displayed in english while other dates (like <?php the_date(‘l, d. F Y’); ?>) are shown in German? I need all dates in German. Any idea? Thanks! |

| September 5, 2013 at 6:26 am It depends on what you are trying to do, there may be an overall simpler way. However to answer your question, I am assuming it is pulling the date in as the default English, and as it isnt being marked for translation it isnt being translated. I havent tested this but you could perhaps use the gettext filter http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext |
