 * Hi, great plugin!
    How can I change date format? Now it’s 05/17/2016 and I want
   it to be 17/05/2016. Thanks!

 * Hi, Right now, the format is hardcoded, we will make it inherit the format from
   Dashboard->Settings.

 * Hi loretpao,
 * If you want this date format to be displayed on the frontend on the pixproof 
   galleries, here’s how I resolved it:
    1. Copy /wp-content/plugins/pixproof/views/pixproof_metadata.php to your-theme/
       templates/pixproof_metadata.php
    2. Add `$newDate = date("d/m/Y", strtotime($event_date));` under `if ( ! empty(
       $event_date ))`
    3. Replace `<span><?php echo $event_date; ?></span>` with `<span><?php echo $newDate;?
       ></span>`
 * Hope this helps!
