Change date format

[Maria Axelsson]

Hi,

I have created custom fields in WCFM Multivendor where the seller, or in my case renter, picks a date when a product is available.

I now want to use a plugin called Search and filter pro, to search for products in my Multivendor website. This plugin requires the date format to look like this: 06022020 (or: 20200206). But in WCFM is looks like this: 2020-02-06. Is there a way to change this?

Any one knows if this is possible?

Well, WCFM shows and save dates in format of site’s default date format – wp-admin -> Setting -> gneral

Now, if you want to save dates in custom format hence it will require custom coding.

Kindly show me your custom field setting screenshot.

Thank you

Well, no it don’t seem so. I have changed the format in Settings, but when I pick a date in WCFM it automatically turns to YYYY-MM-DD with the “-“.

Thanks.

I created custom fields and choose date picker. When the vendor then is adding a product and choosing a date (from a calendar that pops up) it automatically gets the format YYYY-MM-DD

Well, this is because it’s not a valid PHP date format – https://wclovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Ska%CC%88rmavbild-2020-02-14-kl.-10.43.30.png

Hm, okay. But that is the format that my search plugin uses. Is there a way to use this date format in WordPress/WCFM?

[WCFM Forum]

Well, I think it will be best to contact your search plugin support and ask them to support WP standard date formats.

[Maria Axelsson]

I did that first, but they told me to contact you instead haha. But okay, thank you for your help.
