Hello! This tutorial shows how to change date format in OpenCart 2.x.<\/p>\r\n

OpenCart 2.x. How to change date format<\/a><\/p>\r\n

You may want to change the date format in your store depending on what country you are selling your products in.<\/p>\r\n

Let’s learn how to change the date format in your OpenCart store to the desired one.<\/p>\r\n

You may find the date in some parts of your store, like Reviews section as shown in the screenshot above:<\/p>\r\n

\"opencart_2.x._how_to_change_date_format_1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The tutorial assumes you are logged in to your FTP\/hosting control panel File Manager. In our case, we will use the File Manager to perform the changes.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Go to \/catalog\/language\/english\/<\/strong> (or another directory under “\/catalog\/language\/” with needed language) directory and open the default.php<\/strong> file for editing:<\/p>\r\n

    \"opencart_2.x._how_to_change_date_format_2\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Locate the following code in the opened file:<\/p>\r\n

    $_['date_format_short']     = 'd\/m\/Y';<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  3. \r\n
    The value you need to edit is: d\/m\/Y<\/strong> , where d<\/strong> is the Date<\/strong>, m<\/strong> is the Month<\/strong> and Y<\/strong> – Year<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  4. \r\n
    Just change the order to the desired one, e.g.: m\/d\/Y<\/strong> , so the Month<\/strong> goes first.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    Save the file to apply your changes. Go to your store front-end and refresh the page to see the changes.<\/p>\r\n
    The date format has been successfully changed:<\/p>\r\n
    \"opencart_2.x._how_to_change_date_format_3\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
    You may also want to change the date format in your store admin panel:<\/p>\r\n
    \"opencart_2.x._how_to_change_date_format_4\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
    In order to do that, you should go to the same language file located in your \/admin\/<\/strong> directory, so the full path would be: \/admin\/language\/english\/<\/strong>  (or another directory under “\/admin\/language\/” with needed language).<\/p>\r\n
    Change the date format query the same you did for your front-end and save the file to apply your changes.<\/p>\r\n
    Refresh the page to see the date format is successfully changed in your admin panel:<\/p>\r\n
    \"opencart_2.x._how_to_change_date_format_5\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
    This is the end of the tutorial, you have learnt how to change date format in OpenCart.<\/p>\r\n
