Hi there,

Writing a small french website that wil be used by a little NGO, i see that the date format in the pages admin is DD-MM-YYYY.

For the people that will use it, it will be misleading.

Where can I change the format ? Witch blueprint (under user/)

I've tryed this :

```yaml

pages:

theme: epa

dateformat:

YAML
default: 'd-m-Y H:i'   # Format de saisie principal (ex: 25-12-2026 15:30)

short: 'd-m-Y'         # Format court sans les heures

long: 'd-m-Y H:i:s'    # Format long complet

```

But it has no effect.

Thanks for your help.

Are you on Grav 2.0?

Thanks for confirming. In Admin 2, the date picker follows your Admin interface language. Under Admin Settings → Language → Admin Language, select Français for French date conventions. This is a per-account setting.

The pages.dateformat settings don’t control the date picker’s input layout, so changing those won’t affect it.

Please also check the Admin plugin version, separately from Grav’s version. Admin 2.1.3 fixed date fields always using American month/day/year order.

One clarification: you mentioned seeing DD-MM-YYYY, but your requested d-m-Y format has the same day/month/year order. Are you actually seeing month first, or wanting different separators? An example of what you see and what you’d prefer would help.

Thanks for your answer.

plugin Admin2 v2.1.18

Sorry. My bad. In fact I see dates in MM/DD/YYYY, for example 06/21/2026 for an event in June.

OK. Found the Admin Settings → Default values → Language → Admin Language

Thanks for your help.

A way to mark this as solved ?
