Spell out names of months [RESOLVED]

Is there any way the form can spell out the name of the month instead of using digits? For example, instead of 11/21/2023, the form output would be November 21, 2023?

Hi Devon. Where do you want to see the date spelled out, rather than numeric? Can you share a screenshot of where you would like to see the date in that format? Thank you.

We’d like to see it spelled out in the notification email after someone submits a form.

Thank you for the information. In that case, since you are using individual field merge tags, you can use this free plugin from Gravity Wiz to give yourself a merge tag modifier to transform the date format before it is displayed in the notification:

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Thanks. Is there a best practice for using plugins with GF? How/where to install, etc?

It’s a regular WordPress plugin that interacts with Gravity Forms. You can install it from your Plugins → Add New screen. Then activate it like any WordPress plugin and follow the Gravity Wiz instructions for configuration. Thank you.

Thanks. There must be a trick using a comma in the string. I tried using the HTML entity (,) after the day, but that caused the year not to display. I’m trying to get the format: January 5, 2023.

Be sure you are editing in text mode, not visual mode.

Gravity Wiz does cover that in the post:

I recommend adding a comment to that post to ask about the issue if you need assistance.

Thanks, that was the problem.
