 * Hello, attackta! Thank you for review!
 * To change date in widget you need open file lptw-recent-posts.php and:
 * **If widget with fluid images:**
    – find line #143 `<span class="lptw-post-date
   date-<?php echo $color_scheme; ?>"><?php echo $month_word.' '.date("d, Y", strtotime(
   $post_date)); ?></span>` – and change it to `<span class="lptw-post-date date-
   <?php echo $color_scheme; ?>"><?php echo date("d", strtotime($post_date)).' '.
   $month_word.' '.date("Y", strtotime($post_date)); ?></span>`
 * To change the date and title places, need to swap lines #142-144 and #145-147
 * **If widget with thumbnails:**
    – find line #382 `<span class="lptw-post-date"
   ><?php echo $month_word.' '.date("d, Y", strtotime($post_date)); ?></span>` –
   and change it to `<span class="lptw-post-date"><?php echo date("d", strtotime(
   $post_date)).' '.$month_word.' '.date("Y", strtotime($post_date)); ?></span>`
 * To change the date and title places in this widget, need to swap lines #381-383
   and #384-386
 * To change shortcode output.
    **If the basic layout:** – find line #597 `if ( 
   $a['show_date'] ) {$content .= '<span class="lptw-post-date date-'.$a['color_scheme'].'"
   >'.$month_word.' '.date("d, Y", strtotime($post_date)).'</span>';}` – and change
   it to `if ( $a['show_date'] ) {$content .= '<span class="lptw-post-date date-'.
   $a['color_scheme'].'">'.date("d", strtotime($post_date)).' '.$month_word.' '.
   date("Y", strtotime($post_date)).'</span>';}`
 * To change the date and title places, need to swap lines #597 and #598
 * **If the thumbnails layout**
    – find line #614 `if ( $a['show_date'] ) { $content.
   = '<span class="lptw-post-date">'.$month_word.' '.date("d, Y", strtotime($post_date)).'
   </span>'; }` – and change it to `if ( $a['show_date'] ) { $content .= '<span 
   class="lptw-post-date">'.date("d", strtotime($post_date)).' '.$month_word.' '.
   date("Y", strtotime($post_date)).'</span>'; }`
 * To change the date and title places, need to swap lines #614 and #615
 * Change the css code is not necessary.
 * Did this solve the problem?

 * Dear attackta!
 * No need to write the numbers in the array with the names of the months! He only
   for the names of the months that we write in the form of text: January, February,
   March, etc.
 * Unfortunately, site lepantomag.gr is not working. Tell me please, which date 
   format do you need? I’m currently working on a new version of the plug-in, it
   will be able to select the date format and more convenient localization. The 
   new version of the plugin will be published a few days ago.

 * as i wrote before the problem is that the code as you have it do not work correct,
   it doesn;t change the date, but the month..
    I tried what o wrote before, but
   now there is problem after 12 April, cause 12 is the month for your code and 
   when it turns to 13 it gives me 1.1.1970!!! My site is working, can’ t see it?
   I want to display the date like this: 14.04.2015 and if you can to put code for
   time also like this: 15:14 | 14.04.2015 Hope to find a solution!:)
