[Solved] How to add time tag instead to comments?

Hi @profmeow,

You can customize the wpDiscuz template files and make the modifications you want.

For an update-safe way to customization, refer to this doc: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/customization/custom-template-and-style/

@asti I'm still not sure how to do it. As it has to have a valid datetime tag and the format is not suitable for the tag.

@profmeow,

Consider enabling the 'Use WordPress Date/Time Format' option to align dates with the WordPress Date/Time format.

The option can be found and managed in the Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > General Settings admin page.  

@asti I put the WordPress Date/Time in the Y-m-d format and although it shows up in that format (eg. 2023-12-09) on that page when it comes to WPDiscuz it puts it back in the regular word format.

@profmeow,

What is the value of the option I've mentioned in my previous post?

@asti My bad, I forgot to clarify more specifically.

The issue is it's missing the time section in proper ISO format after enabling WordPress Date/Time format. For example, it should be:

<time class="wpd-comment-date" datetime="2023-11-15T18:36">
<i class="far fa-clock" aria-hidden="true"></i>
2023-11-15 18:36
</time>

But it shows up as:

<time class="wpd-comment-date" datetime="2023-11-15 18:36">
<i class="far fa-clock" aria-hidden="true"></i>
2023-11-15 18:36
</time>

Is there any way to fix that?

@profmeow,

This is native (core) WordPress functions. You can use the get_comment_date hook to customize the logic according to your preferences.
