Hi,

If you're currently using the default date format in WordPress (e.g., "December 19, 2025") and you'd like to display a short month name like "Dec" instead, you can easily change that by updating the date format in your WordPress settings.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to Settings → General in your WordPress dashboard.

  2. Find the Date Format section.

  3. Enter the following custom format:
    M j, Y
    This will display dates like: Dec 19, 2025

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • M = Short month name (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.)

  • j = Day of the month without leading zeros

  • Y = Full year (e.g., 2025)

After saving the changes, your site will show the updated date format.

Regards,
PenciDesign.
