{@post_date} in a template is defaulting to the default field display instead of the WordPress, Settings, General Date format

This really comes down to Pods->display() not returning a properly formatted date, which is ultimately the responsibility of Pods->field() at the current time.

So at this time I wouldn't be adding any more code to that function until it gets broken up with the PodsObject type stuff.

I created a phpunit test for this and I'll create a PR for it but the tests will be failing until the issue gets resolved.

Hi, slightly different problem here:

I need to display a “day monthname year” date using italian monthname (which would be the default for my wordpress installation) but PODS keeps outputting monthname in english, even if I choose in field options a custom php-style date format “j F Y”.

Is there currently any workaround?
Should I open a new bug report for that?

Thanks!

@guidobras: can you open a new issue for this in case they're from separate things?
