Date issue on the Posts page

    Hi everyone,
    One of my customers recently upgraded to WordPress 3.9, but ever since then the publish date on the posts page in the admin interface is showing something like J-04-22, instead of the full correct date. If you hover over it the Alt text shows the correct date including time, which I can also find correctly in the database.
    On the frontend all the dates show up correctly too. The customer has a few sites running on another server where the date does show up correctly, but I haven’t been able to find much differences in PHP versions,etc.

    The server that has this issue is running Centos 6.5, Plesk 11.0.9 Update #60, PHP 5.3.3-27.el6_5 and MySQL 5.1.73-3.el6_5. The WordPress localisation is set to Dutch.

    I’m kinda at a loss here, so I’m hoping anyone on here has had this problem before and knows a solution.

    Thanks in advance!

    It sounds like it could be theme related but it is a little hard to tell. Have you tried switching themes to see if the date changes? If that doesn’t help then it could be plugin related. Try deactivating all plugins and activating one by one.

    What setting is the date_format set to? That is another possible thing to look for. 🙂

    Hi Jose,

    Thanks for you reply!
    I doubt it’s theme related since it only happens in the admin interface and that’s set to the default theme, which works on a myriad of other servers.
    As for plugins, they make no change whether I enable or disable them.

    date_format is set to “j F Y”, which works everywhere but on the Posts overview in the admin interface.

    I think I found a solution. After a long search I finally found someone else with the same problem. See, https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-formatting-wp-admin-broken-after-39-update

    Solved it by downloading a new dutch version of 3.9 and uploading the /wp-content/languages/ directory again. Refresh the backend afterwords.

    Awesome. In the back of my mind I thought it would be the language file. Wanted to post a little earlier. Glad to see you got it sorted out. 🙂
