After migrating my site to a new server suddenly all my dates above my items have a weird format and illegible dates.

I am running Joomla 2.5.6, have reinstalled with the latest version 2.5.7 again, cleared cache, etc and the issue remains.

For example, instead of the correct date: "Monday, August 20, 2012"

It reads: "K2_FriPMUTCE_August+0000RAugPMUTC_1C1"

What the heck is that?!

I have searched and have been unable to find any mention of this issue. Please help!!!

Hi. Maybe your template overrides are using the Joomla! 1.5 date format. Try to view with a clear template by appending "?template=atomic" to the URL.

Your idea was correct! When I view the blog with "?template=atomic" at the end of the URL the dates show correct. So how do I fix it so the dates show in J 2.5 date format?!

I figured it out. I compared the original K2 files in components/com_k2/templates/default to the template override files in my template directory.

I could see that for some reason my template override files were using the date format:

instead of what was in the original files:

So I changed the "LC1" to "LC2" at the end of that date format text and it worked. Then, I actually changed it to just "LC" since I did not want the time to show.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

You are welcome.
