I use a date format of YYYY-MM-DD. Is there an easy way to accomplish this currently? If not, I’ll add a configuration option to set the date format.

Hm, I have tried to set the “Published date” of blog posts in the admin area. Regardless of whether I use US or Euro style, the system always throws the same error as soon as I try to save the settings. It reads, “0 - An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template (“DateTime::__cons…
