change date format

Hello,
Where can I change the date format from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy?
Thanks

Thank you for your inquiry.

I think you’re looking for this section of your Dashboard:

Dashboard -› Settings -› General -› Date Format

Hi Bruce,

Related to this, I require a date-based custom registration field in the USA format of mm/dd/yyyy. Unfortunately, the date format selected in WordPress’ Date Format setting is not impacting s2members’ expected format option for the custom registration/profile field. That is, the s2member’s expected format select field option for Date remains dd/mm/yyyy no matter which date format I choose (and save) in the WordPress setting. Any ideas on what is going on with this?

In addition, my preference is to have WordPress’ date format with the month written out (e.g. May 6, 2013) but I figure that users will be more comfortable entering the date information in the slash format (or, ideally, using a date picker). In this situation, I would expect s2member to give me the choice of both dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy in the selections for the expected date format.

Many thanks in advance,
Sofia

Actually, my original question doesn’t even seem relevant; whichever way I enter the date (mm/dd or dd/mm), even after changing the setting in the Dashboard, S2Member doesn’t return a validation error even for an invalid date. As long as it’s 2 digits, it validates, even if I enter “24” for the month, for example. Any support comments on this?
Thanks.

s2Member does not use the date format set here in its forms.

s2Member only validates the format of the input, not the actual meaning. You cannot currently change the format for the date in Pro Forms. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please add a date picker and more date format options to the feature request list.

In the meantime, it would be a whole lot less confusing if s2member’s select option used something like ‘xx/yy/zzzz’ for indicating the format instead of the dd, mm and yyyy that has a well-recognized meaning.

Will do.

I’ll talk to our development team about this.
