* Hi [@bondweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bondweb/),
* The problem is that PHP interprets dates as “month/day/year” when slashes are
used in the date. So, you can fix this by changing each “/” to “.”, e.g. “20.09.2020”.
* If you can’t change the dates in the file, you can easily fix it with a PHP function:

Example:
* `[str_replace("/",".",{pubDate[1]})]`
