Hello,

I ve a question about the date and time format.

When I create blog articles, the display shows the date and time. Where and how can I change the format of this output? I have an English format here, but would like to change it to the German format.

I have already switched from English to German in the language settings and cleared the cache. But that hasn’t helped yet.

Can anyone help me?

Hi @trickler - I think you might have to modify the date output in your page template or however it is being rendered. I [don’t believe there is a configuration to set a universal date/time format in the CMS itself](https://forums.concretecms.org/t/are-there-any-setting-for-date-format/4157).

Hi,  
same problem here. Did you find a way / solution to change the time / date format? Searching for hours now and could not find a solution how / where to change.

Any hint / help is apreciated and welcome!

THANK YOU!

No, sorry, unfortunately not. However, I haven’t had any blogs recently either, so the topic has been postponed for me for the time being.

OK, bad news - but thanks for the answer!

Nobody has this problem and / or any solution?
