Hi,

1) I’ll try with the child theme, although it’s not entirely clear from the documentation which parts of your -child template should be replaced, e.g. in functions.php:

a) In expression ‘add the parent style + style.css from this folder’ – what exactly is a ‘parent style’ and how to add it and where?
b) what’s the difference between ‘td-theme’ and ‘TD-THEME-VERSION’? Are there any other variables that shall be replaced?

2) Re date suffix – you’re right about English suffix, however I was talking about Polish date format, which is still wrong even without using this suffix. I can’t upload screenshots, but in Polish the name of the month shall change form in dates, and for some reason in the top bar it doesn’t. For example, the name of October in Polish is ‘październik’ (and it shall be lower case, rather than capital letter, by the way). However, in dates the month shall be written in different grammar form, with -a suffix, i.e. “23 października 2018”. Instead, in the top bar it is “23 Październik 2018”, which is double wrong, firstly because of the form, and secondly because of the capital letter.

Interestingly, in posts the date shows correctly as “23 października 2018”, and it corresponds with settings in WP admin panel, so I guess this is rather up to WP coding than your theme coding.

Looked like a simple topic at first… 🙂

Hi,

Thanks for that, I’ve read about child themes and it seems to me that it’s safer to do it via child theme, which is unaffected by potential future theme updates?

On another note, I just noticed that WP date format doesn’t display the date numbers with ordinal indicators (st, nd, rd, th) even when I changed this option in WP settings and WP preview shows it correctly, however the front-end does not (so WP preview shows correctly 20th October 2018 (either when set as default option or custom field), but the front-end still shows “20 October 2018”). The same btw happens when you set it in Polish, which is even more wrong, because the name of the month should change grammar form as well, and it stays in nominative. Is this sth that depends on your coding (theme) or should I ask WP about it? I deleted cache several times, logged out and back in and nothing helps. Am I missing sth here?

Apologies Sinisa for hijacking your thread 🙂

Thanks, regards

Hi,

This is my first post here, so hello everyone.

I’ve just started with Newspaper theme and I like it, however I’ve got a similar issue, one of the very first ones encountered (all other ones successfully dealt with already by learning and trying 😉 ).

It’s not a biggy and it’s great that it can be fixed by changing the WP site language, however it’s slightly inconvenient – my site is in Polish but I’m very much used to English version of WP admin, so much that it looks very strange to me now in Polish, actually 😀

Obviously, I can live with it (if it’s the only option), but is there any other way to get the contry/language-specific date format in the site (front-end) language whilst keeping the back-end in English (or any other language)? Or will I have to use sth like an external widget for that?

Thanks, regards

Tom
