# [Theme Manhattan] Incorrect Date Format

 * I have been trying out the excellent Manhattan template today, and many thanks
   to the author for the time and effort involved.
 * However, before uploading this new Manhattan template I used the European date
   format from within the provided templates (day, month, year) with no problem.
   But, upon uploading Manhattan, I lost the European format, and despite everythimng
   that I do, it always reverts back to the ‘month, day, and year’ format.
 * I could learn to live with this US-style date format, but I would like to use
   the Eurpoean date format if possible. Perhaps I need to change something from
   within PHP via FTP? Maybe someone knows?
 * Thanks for your time – Steve

 * From the Manhattan theme author:
    I moved to another site, which is why the theme
   page no longer links.
 * But here is the answer:
 * in the archive.php, index.php, search.php and single.php
 * there is a function <?php the_date(‘l, F jS, Y’) ?> or
    the_time(‘l, F jS, Y’)
 * I forget which. but the ‘l,F jS, Y’ hardwires the date/time format.
 * I pre-set it to the American way. Hey. Manhattan is in America.
 * Just change it to <?php the_date() ?> or <?php the_time() ?>
 * Remove the ‘l,F jS, Y’
 * That is all.
 * Then you can amend it in the general settings of the dashboard control panel.

 * Is there any way to add a second separate sidebar under the existing one?
