Hello,

I want to change the date display format on the website to: dd/mm/yyyy, how should I change it?
For example: 18 August 2021 ->> 18/08/2021

Hi

Thanks for contacting us. As per my knowledge It is not possible to change the date format. You can follow this documentation below which will help you I guess.

Thanks for answering. However, the Helix Ultimate template does not have a \sppagebuilder\addons\ folder, so what files do I need to change?

I guess we are talking about Blog view (Articles component) - so that value is based on language string.

Joomla in that file (language\en-GB\joomla.ini) uses:

DATE_FORMAT_LC="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC1="l, d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC2="l, d F Y H:i"
DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d F Y"
DATE_FORMAT_LC4="Y-m-d"
DATE_FORMAT_LC5="Y-m-d H:i"
DATE_FORMAT_LC6="Y-m-d H:i:s"
DATE_FORMAT_JS1="y-m-d"
DATE_FORMAT_CALENDAR_DATE="%Y-%m-%d"
DATE_FORMAT_CALENDAR_DATETIME="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
DATE_FORMAT_FILTER_DATE="Y-m-d"
DATE_FORMAT_FILTER_DATETIME="Y-m-d H:i:s"

so probably you have to override that one: DATE_FORMAT_LC3
