# Make bug posts respect date format settings

 * [Loving this plugin — thanks!]
    Bug listing seems to display dates as set in 
   admin at **Settings > General > Date format**. Great. However, individual bug
   posts don’t — the date is displayed as mm-dd-yyyy, which is not consistent with
   the rest of my site (and is weird for just about anyone who isn’t from the USA).
   Can I change anything to make the posts respect the site date format? Or failing
   that, what should I change to force the date format I want? Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmake-bug-posts-respect-date-format-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * How did you configure single items to be displayed on your site? Did you copy
   the single-bug-library-bugs.php file into your theme and adapted it to display
   within your layout?
 * There is code in that single item template to style dates according to the site
   configuration.
 * Please confirm what work you did towards creating a single item template. You
   can also send me your template by e-mail: ylefebvre at gmail.

 * Thanks Yannick – I have emailed you with explanation and I attached my `single-
   bug-library-bugs.php`
