    Hi
    My website is in ENG and FR.
    http://www.impactcrescendo.com/allo-toutlmonde?lang=fr

    I cannot figure out how to reverse the date format according to the language. I want to get the “month” and “date” reversed, so in ENG – October 10, 2015; in FR 10 octobre 2015

    I use WPML and found the following response in the forum:
    “Locate the code that outputs the date then use the php conditional logic below to output the correct date.

    global $sitepress;
    if($sitepress->get_current_language() == ‘fr’) {
    // the date format for the French version
    }
    else {
    // the date format for the English version
    }

    ”
    Can you help me find where I could try this code snippet and add it to my Child Theme functions.php.

    Thanks
    Lyse

    Hi tremblayly!

    Thank you for using Enfold.

    Please try this in the functions.php file:

    // filter time
add_filter('get_the_time', function($d) {
	global $sitepress;
	if($sitepress->get_current_language() == 'fr') {
		$d = 'j F y';
	}
	
	return $d;
}, 10, 1);

    If you can open a new ticket in the WPML support, it will help as well.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,
    That code did not work, it only displays the letters “j Fy” in the date field. What’s missing in the code provided?
    I removed the code on my live site for now.
    Thanks

    Hi Yigit,
    I have contacted WPML support team to help as I’ve gone through 20 different code samples and none worked.
    Thank you for you help though.
