Title: Localised Date Format Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Localised Date Format * Resolved [caleb.tapp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calebtapp/) * (@calebtapp) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localised-date-format/) * Is there a way to change the date so it’s formatted as DD/MM/YY (or at least so it respects WordPress’s localisation setting)? If not, will that feature be added in the future? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-advanced-datepicker/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-advanced-datepicker/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Ajit Kumar Satpathy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theajit/) * (@theajit) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localised-date-format/#post-5885561) * You can Set Date format by this below method: Plugin >> Editors >> Select Cf7 Advanced DatePicker >> js * Then in that change the format to DD/MM/YYYY * You can check jquery date formatting for the same. * Thanks * [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localised-date-format/#post-5885815) * I changed it like as below in ‘ cf7-advanced-datepicker/js/custom-script.js’, but it appears to have no effect at all. * What am I doing wrong? * ``` jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $('.cf7-adv-datepicker').datepicker({ autoclose: true, showAnim: setting.effect, changeMonth: setting.monyearmenu, changeYear: setting.monyearmenu, showWeek: setting.showWeek, minDate: setting.date, dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd" }); ``` * [yakaroo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yakaroo/) * (@yakaroo) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localised-date-format/#post-5885816) * This is the js code…there is no date format in there to change? * jQuery(document).ready(function($) { * $(‘.cf7-adv-datepicker’).datepicker({ * autoclose: true, * showAnim: setting.effect, * changeMonth: setting.monyearmenu, * changeYear: setting.monyearmenu, * showWeek: setting.showWeek, * minDate: setting.date, * }); * //verion 1.0 fail-safe * $(‘#cf7-adv-datepicker’).datepicker({ * autoclose: true, * showAnim: setting.effect, * changeMonth: setting.monyearmenu, * changeYear: setting.monyearmenu, * showWeek: setting.showWeek, minDate: setting.date, * }); * }); * [mintynz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mintynz/) * (@mintynz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localised-date-format/#post-5885817) * Yakaroo, I looked at the jQuery datepicker docs, and it seems by adding another parameter to each of those functions: `dateFormat: "yy-mm-dd"` * then it should set the date format.
