Default date format as defined in Settings not working | WordPress.org

I’ve changed the Date Format settings from “Relative to the current date (e.g., 1 day, 1 week, 1 month ago)” to “Default date format as defined in Settings”, however the job postings still display “Posted 2 weeks ago”, etc.

The main reason I’m wanting to change this is because Google Structured Data Testing is not liking the datePosted format:
“Posted 2 weeks ago (Cannot understand the value Posted 2 weeks ago as a date/time. Learn more about date/time formats.)”

This (among several other structured data) is one of the reasons why it’s not getting indexed by Google Jobs.

Hi @petebocken !

That shouldn’t happen. Can you please try switching to one of WordPress default themes (such as Twenty-twentyone) and see if the date format will change? It’s possible that a theme template overrides the default the_job_publish_date() function.

On my test site, I see this when I change the date format: https://d.pr/i/FOag2P

@bindlegirl you are correct, it is something wrong with the theme. Thanks!
