 * Hello,
 * What a great theme, thank you very much!
 * I encountered a problem and I haven’t been able to fix it and it is making me
   crazy. It seems that ULTRA has locked the date in this format: “3 June 2016” 
   while I really need it to be in the format I defined in the GENERAL SETTINGS:
   3.6.2016.
 * Is it posible to fix this without messing with the php files?
 * The website is [http://life-impetus.eu/news-events/](http://life-impetus.eu/news-events/)
   
   The pass is mago
 * Thank you,
    Ricardo

 * Hi [@hymemb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hymemb/)
 * Thanks for your support, it’s most appreciated.
 * I’ll definitely look into using the WordPress core date setting in future. For
   now, we can change the date format by installing and activating a plugin called
   [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/). You’ll find it
   if you search from Plugins > Add New.
 * Next, head over to Snippets > Add New and add a new snippet called: Ultra Posted
   On. Insert the following in the snippet body:
 * [http://pastebin.com/hYB8Yub9](http://pastebin.com/hYB8Yub9)
 * Before clicking Save and Activate, be sure to enable the radio button: Only run
   on site front-end. This means that if we cause a fatal error, we’ll still have
   access to the WordPress admin. Code Snippets is also pretty good about warning
   when we make a mistake.
 * Give that a try and let me know how it goes. Sorry, wish I had an easier way 
   to make this change for you.
