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.
