My K2 Items display the date like this: %PM, %26 %999 %2017 %22:%Dec
as opposed to Dec 26, 2017. Interested in finding the cause and solution.

Hello David, Are you using overrides?
If yes, are these strings hardcoded in the template?

No overrides that I'm aware of. I installed K2 and was using a different template which had the same problem. Installed Takai but the problem persisted.

I have the same problem. I use the "JSN Mico Pro" template and the problem also occurs in the joomla backend (example:% 05 /% 04 /% 2011 -% 16:% Apr). So I do not think it's a template problem.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

EDIT:
I have - for now - solved by modifying the files (item.php, category_item.php, user.php, tag.php) contained in "/templates/my_template/html/com_k2/templates/default", changing "K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2" with "d M Y, H: s".

However this is only a temporary solution waiting to understand how to definitively solve the problem.

Are you using any language packs?
Can you try updating them?

I have the Italian language updated.
I deleted and reinstalled the language to try.
I also tried to delete or change the files of k2 - one by one - from the language folder and the administrator/language folder, but nothing changed.
But I think the problem is right there, otherwise everyone would be in the same situation.


For now it's okay like that. At the next update I will try to understand something more. Thank you ;)

Hello Marco,

You can also use language overrides in Joomla!'s admin so you won't have to edit template files.
