The date format is read from your main settings page
I can’t comment on the other issue without seeing it.
Hi
I installed the plugin on a clean WP site and the date picker pop-up is working there so that problem must be mine. I’ll tackle that directly.
On the date display issue, I’ve tried changing date setting under /wp-admin/options-general.php
example: 06/05/2014 (6th of May 2014)
But on the page where [wphostel-list] shortcode the date in the date box is displayed as YYYY-MM-DD
example: From date: 2014-05-07
Thank you

Oh you mean the date picker. Changing this will be a problem because the value is directly entered into the database – should we allow custom format we’ll not be able to do it because people can use any format. I’ll see if something can be done about this, but probably not.
Hi
I think that should be fine – as far as I know, the date is always saved in the database in a standard way but just displayed using PHP’s date format in the way the user wants it.

Thanks, this looks good, I’ll try it and if it solves, will submit new version

Sorry, it won’t solve anything – it expects unix timestamp. We don’t get timestamp from the datepicker, we get the date as entered by the user. And if we get custom defined date format, there is no guarantee that strtotime() will be able to resolve it.
What needs to be done is to allow the date picker to use second field – I am not sure it’s worth the effort for just a nice display of the date. Will consider it for future version.
