How to change the date formatting on blog posts - Squarespace 7.1

If you want to display the blog post formatting inside of a blog post on your Squarespace site, you are limited as to how the date presents itself.

Using the code below, add this to Code Injection > Footer to change the date format.

Within the code, it’s this text in bold that you will want to change. There is a list of possible date options below

const dateformat = "dd mmm yyyy";

You can add hyphens in-between the letters to then create a date format like so as an alternative option.

dd-mm-yyyy

Note:

You won’t see changes made to the site until you press “Save” within Code Injection.
