Improved time and date format settings in WordPress 2.7

WordPress 2.7 Beta 2 is available for download now and I’ve been testing out some of the new features.  In this post I’ll demonstrate the subtle but useful changes to the time and date settings in WordPress 2.7.

In WordPress 2.6 the time and date settings look like this.

In WordPress 2.7 the time and date settings now look like this.

The Date Format and Time Format settings now make several common formatting options selectable, while still keeping the option to choose a custom format.  This is much easier than having to refer to the formatting documentation when choosing a format, especially as most people would use one of the new selectable ones anyway.
