   Hi,

   i want to change the display format from "January 4th, 2009" to "04.01.2009". I ofc already tried via "Settings -> Date Format". But this has no effect at all?

   Old posts don't get updated and newer ones still don't show the right date.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   You may have to change your theme and the way it displays those dates.

   The template tag, the_date() or the_time() are typically used to present post dates in a theme's template files.

   Resources:
   Formatting Date and Time
   Stepping Into Template Tags
   Stepping Into Templates
   Template Hierarchy

   I will try, thank you.

   But is this a WordPress bug? Isn't this supposed to change the formatting? If not, what function does it have?

   Not really a bug, but rather how the theme author 'codes' the theme.
