 * I’m using the Submitted field in my shortcode and can’t seem to transform the
   date_format. I would like 2019-03-02 17:00:50 -06:00 to display as 03/02/2019
   5:00 PM like I have it in my website settings. Please help.

 * Hello Outdoorsmen,
 * You can solve your problem by clicking on options, in the Contactic admin menu.
   Navigate to the Export tab. There you will be able to choose if you prefer the
   wordpress date setting (this is what you actually want i think) by setting _false_
   on **Use Custom Date-Time Display Format**. Otherwise, you can set this option
   to **true** and specify the date format you want to use in your contactic shortcode
   exports.
 * Tell us if this solved your issue, and don’t hesitate to [leave a review here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contactic/reviews/#new-post)
   😉

 * Yes, that solved the issue. I would have never thought to look there. I;m still
   playing with this but I will give my review soon. Thanks
