function to format date in pods template

I have a pods template (post extended pod). The post date displays as 2025-01-29015:21:14. I want it to display without the time.

I followed the guidance at https://docs.pods.io/code-snippets/date-format-output-filter-for-magic-tags/#page-header-1347. No change.

/* Output filter for my_date
Use this against a date field in your Pods Fields like so:
{@post_date,my_date}

The Function below should be in your functions.php
*/

function my_date($input_date) {
return date(“m/d/Y”, strtotime($input_date));
}
