if ( array_key_exists( 'post_date', $the_post ) ) {
$date = new DateTime( trim( $the_post['post_date'] ) );
$date_post = date_i18n( $format, $date->getTimestamp() );
}
```

* Hi [@mkmazid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkmazid/),
* Did you try the shortcode parameter
* ```wp-block-code
date_format='n/j/y'
```
* where you may use any of the following WordPress time codes here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/formatting-date-and-time/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/formatting-date-and-time/)

* [@mkmazid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkmazid/)
* you may also use
* ```wp-block-code
date_format='settings'
```
* and the plugin will get format from WordPress settings.
