Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Thank you for updating me! The way you are coding is your datte format following WordPresse's set date format? Please review the following documentation on how to translate your date format https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-your-sites-date-format-using-wpml/ OR I recommend to review how to localize your date in PHP via the following documentation by WP: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/customize-date-and-time-format/#localization Let me know your results, please.
