 * My General WordPress settings use custom date format j F Y
 * Is it possible to show the day in front of the date in the public sign up task/
   item lists to make it easier for volunteers but still use the current date format
   when editing / creating tasks
 * eg 12 July 2016 changes to Tuesday 12 July 2016 in sign-up list
 * but the row of dates of tasks associated with a sheet still shows 2016-07-12,
 * If so please advise which files / code to edit.
 * Thank you for supporting the plugin.

 * All the public display code is in the:
    class-pta_sus_public.php file Search 
   for the code that says: `get_option("date_format")` And replace that with the
   PHP date format you want to show in the various places throughout the code. You’ll
   need to put the date code inside single or double quotes, such as “j F Y” for
   it to work.
 * There is no output filter on the dates, so you would have to modify the code 
   directly (which would then get wiped out next time you update the plugin).
