Hi there,

I want to change the date format in X to German standard. I’ve changed in the WP settings which is doing fine for most of the site. No I#ve noticed that the date format for the comments is wrong: 02.25.2016 should be 25.02.2016

In this Post (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/change-date-format-2/) I’ve found the following code which I had to add to child themes functions.php:

add_filter( 'get_comment_date', 'change_comment_date_format' );    
function change_comment_date_format( $d ) {
    $d = date("d/m/Y");    
    return $d;
}    

This results only the current date of today but not the correct date format from this comment. How can I change it?

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the url of the page. To resolve this issue, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function x_renew_comment( $comment, $args, $depth ) {

  $GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment;
  switch ( $comment->comment_type ) :
    case 'pingback' :  // 1
    case 'trackback' : // 1
  ?>
  <li <?php comment_class(); ?> id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
    <p><?php _e( 'Pingback:', '__x__' ); ?> <?php comment_author_link(); ?> <?php edit_comment_link( __( '(Edit)', '__x__' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?></p>
  <?php
      break;
    default : // 2
    GLOBAL $post;
    if ( X_WOOCOMMERCE_IS_ACTIVE ) :
      $rating = esc_attr( get_comment_meta( $GLOBALS['comment']->comment_ID, 'rating', true ) );
    endif;
    if ( x_is_product() ) {
      $comment_avatar = get_avatar( $comment, 240 );
    } else {
      $comment_avatar = get_avatar( $comment, 120 );
    }
  ?>
  <li id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php comment_class(); ?>>
    <article id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" class="comment">
      <?php
      printf( '<div class="x-comment-img">%s</div>',
        '<span class="avatar-wrap cf">' . $comment_avatar . '</span>'
      );
      ?>
      <?php if ( ! x_is_product() ) : ?>
      <div class="x-reply">
        <?php comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array( 'reply_text' => __( 'Reply <span class="comment-reply-link-after"><i class="x-icon-reply" data-x-icon=""></i></span>', '__x__' ), 'depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth'] ) ) ); ?>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <div class="x-comment-wrap">

            <div class="star-rating-container">

                <span style="width:<?php echo ( intval( get_comment_meta( $GLOBALS['comment']->comment_ID, 'rating', true ) ) / 5 ) * 100; ?>%"><strong itemprop="ratingValue"><?php echo intval( get_comment_meta( $GLOBALS['comment']->comment_ID, 'rating', true ) ); ?></strong> <?php _e( 'out of 5', '__x__' ); ?></span>
              </div>
            </div>
          <?php endif;
          printf( '<div><a href="%1$s" class="x-comment-time"><time datetime="%2$s">%3$s</time></a></div>',
            esc_url( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ),
            get_comment_time( 'c' ),
            sprintf( __( '%1$s at %2$s', '__x__' ),
              get_comment_date( 'd/m/Y' ),
              get_comment_time()
            )
          );
          edit_comment_link( __( '<i class="x-icon-edit" data-x-icon=""></i> Edit', '__x__' ) );
          ?>
        </header>
        <?php if ( '0' == $comment->comment_approved ) : ?>
          <p class="x-comment-awaiting-moderation"><?php _e( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.', '__x__' ); ?></p>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <section class="x-comment-content">
          <?php comment_text(); ?>
        </section>
      </div>
    </article>
  <?php
      break;
  endswitch;

}

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

Yeah! Solved my problem 🙂 I Only changed get_comment_date( ‘d/m/Y’ ) to get_comment_date( ‘d.m.Y’ ) for German format

Thank you!
