Ability to format Date

live

It would be very useful if all date options (but mostly the Meta Getter block, eg. Post publish date, etc) could be individually and freely formatted based on WP standards: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/customize-date-and-time-format/

This would require a free-word field where you could enter this or something similar: l, F j, Y (or you could even choose from some predefined formats)

    Post date option already can be changed. It’s using WordPress date format that you can change in Settings – General

    Yes, but sometimes it’s not enough. Sometimes different date formats are used in different parts of the site, so it would be very nice if this could be set separately!

    We should have something like this, because it is for example very well solved in the default date block:

      custom date format doesn’t work with default preset language!
      e.g. “Januar” (german) is displayed as “January” (english)
      please fix this! THX
