 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for a great plugin! I am retrieving a date custom field in the body
   of a notification through shortcode [psppno_post meta:wpcf-deadline]. This works
   fine except the value returned in a Unix timestamp.
 * Can you offer any means of converting this to a readable date?
 * Thanks,
