I am trying to convert a date inside a view.
The date is inside a WordPress (!) custom field value fetched by the view.
I expected to see the possibility to format the date by adding format="m.d.Y" but this doesn't seem to work with WordPress Custom Fields added to a post.

[wpv-post-field name="activiteit_begindatum"]

Above is what I see in my view. How do I format the value activiteit_begindatum if format="m.d.Y" doesn't do the trick ? Again this is a custom field added to a WordPress post and queried by a view.

You can use Types short code for this:

[types field="my-date" format="Y/m/d g:i:s A"][/types]

Please see https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#date

While, [wpv-post-field] has no such option (https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-field).

Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need more assistance. In the later case, can you please provide some debug information about your site? Please see https://toolset.com/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ for more information.
