WordPress Filters
-----------------

[](#wordpress-filters)

### pronamic\_datetime\_default\_format

[](#pronamic_datetime_default_format)

```
function prefix_pronamic_datetime_default_format( $format ) {
	return _x( 'D j M Y \a\t H:i', 'default datetime format', 'pronamic-ideal' );
}

add_filter( 'pronamic_datetime_default_format', 'prefix_pronamic_datetime_default_format' );
```

Note `date_i18n`
----------------

[](#note-date_i18n)

It is important to note that `date_i18n()`:

1. does not have full feature parity with `date()`, not all formats are supported (such as shorthands);
2. does not accept Unix timestamp (despite documented to), the expected value is “WordPress timestamp” (offset by time zone);
3. has issues with certain timezone settings, such as numerical ones;
4. does *nothing* with `$gmt` argument under normal circumstances;

Any use of this function must be carefully audited for correctness, *especially* in regards to output of time zones.
