Hi, I wanted to add the <time> and inside it the datetime tag for the comment published date instead of the <div> tag currently being used to displaying the time for each comment. Is there a way I can do that?
[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.
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.

@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?
This is native (core) WordPress functions. You can use the get_comment_date hook to customize the logic according to your preferences.
For more information, refer to: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/get_comment_date/
