 * No need to change on your theme. 🙂
 * Go in “Preferences ->General”.

 * Hm… So I think you need to modify your theme files. Create a child theme, find
   the files that have the date code and replace them as you need.

 * Let me know if I can help you any further.

 * Thx. I will look into that.
 * Do you happen to know how to translate the “home” in the themes breadcrumbs?

 * Thx tried it but the Home in bredcrumbs doesnt show, must be some kind of hardcodet
   name for the root.
