# Date/time Issue

 * [2 days, 15 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/date-time-issue-2/)
 * I have the date/time options for these fields set to mm/dd/yyyy and 12 hour. 
   When I updated the plugin to 3.3.9.2 they defaulted to yyyy-mm-dd and 24 hour,
   overriding the settings. Changing and saving the settings to any other format
   seemed to have no effect on the formatting. I wound up rolling back to 3.3.9.1
   which seems to still work fine.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdate-time-issue-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Also: overriding the display options for @postdate in Pods templates stopped 
   working after the last update.

 * Are you using display callbacks in your magic tags?

 * I’m not sure… 😉
 * I’m using this in a couple of templates:
   {@postdate, didm_date}With this bit 
   of php to define a custom format:`function didm_date($input_date) {return strtolower(
   date_i18n("j F Y", strtotime($input_date)));}

 * That’s the change, check your Pods Admin > Settings for the new display callback
   setting that you must allow first.
 * I’ll get a better doc page about this up this weekend. Here’s how to customize
   it if you have a lot of them and how to workaround the prefix requirement too.

 * Appreciate your understanding. Security risks as heightened these days and it
   was a required change to avoid some very interesting issues.
