Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply, James! Much appreciated.
The [open day_format=”full_date_month_first_comma_nos”] returns
金曜日, 2月 12TH ←it remains TH, which is not recognized in Japanese.
The general WordPress site language is set to Japanese and date format is a custom setting, Y年n月j日 .
Sorry, I solved that problem but discovered a new one. I was able to have it show the day of the week and the month in Japanese,
for example 金曜日、2月 12 (→Friday, February 12) but I can’t get it to show a trailing character that indicates 12日 (similar to 12th). I tried using [day_suffix=“日”] but this didn’t work. The full “date” should be “金曜日(,) 2月 12日”
Also my business’ hours run past 24:00 (for example 7pm~2am the next day), but this does not seem to register as opening hours of the following day, and %if_open_now% returns an incorrect result after midnight.
