Show date format YYYY-MM-DD as for example '30. november 2023' instead

[JohnBoye]

Hi community!

I'm trying to change the code so that this output is shown as a 'normal' date instead of YYYY-MM-DD. For instance in below case it should be 30. november 2024 (Danish way of writing dates). 

Any suggestions?

Hi @JohnBoye 

Did you check in Online store > Themes > Edit default theme content find that message and edit date format?

Yeah – thing is I modified it too retrieve the date from a metafield. But cant figure out to show the date in a different format: 😊

Hi @JohnBoye 

You can try to use this date format in your meta field 

{{ date | date: "%-d %B %Y"}}

The output will be like 30 Nov 2023

Here is a table of many placeholders we can use for date formatting:

• %b - Abbreviated month name: Jan
• %B - Full month name: January
• %d - Day of the month, zero-padded: 05
• %-d - Day of the month: 5
• %Y - Year with a century: 2023

Thanks – I will test it out! 😊
