 * Please advise if you can add a setting to change the date format shown when using
   the date picker field.
    It appears to only show a US date format – MM/DD/YYYY.
   Many other locales use DD/MM/YYYY
 * Perhaps you could copy the format set in WordPress under Settings -> General.
   
   Thankyou

 * Hello,
 * Our plugin displays the date format as MM/DD/YYYY but saves it in format that
   is configured in **WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General > Date Format**.

 * Hi
    Its how it is displayed that I am raising the point about. When someone not
   used to seeing MM/DD/YYYY sees the date they have just picked displayed in that
   way, they can think the date picker is wrong and they have chosen the wrong date.
   I’ve no issue with how the actual data is stored. thankyou

 * I agree with 2020 media. Not only might they think the picker is wrong also they
   might fill in the wrong date by hand. Since you can fill in the date by typing
   for ex 06/08/1991
 * The problem here is the users in some areas where they are used to start with
   the date and then the month might think she/he writes 6 august but instead writes
   8 june
