Using the sample

Chinese date format setting, Month Day: such as: February 1, 2010

The_time (' Y year n Month J Day ');

Chinese time setting, Hours: 22:22:22

The_time (' g:i:s ');

Week format setting, week: Thursday, November 1, 2010

The_time (' Y year n month J Day L ');

Of course, sometimes our theme like Chinese and English mixed date display format, for the use of WordPress, this will make some small adjustments. Here, for example, the month in which the log time is displayed, we use The_time (' M ') in the topic to print out the English abbreviated month value for a Sep.

But fortunately and unfortunately, WordPress will be very humane for you to translate into nine, said lucky because of the intelligent WordPress people feel happy, said unfortunately because I really need Sep such as the English shorthand format, which let me how to be good.

So how do we do this at this time, from the function point of view to solve this problem, reset to avoid the Chinese. The function:

The_time (' M ');

Replace with:

echo Date (' M ', get_the_time (' U '));

This time we find that we have the time format we need.
