    Hi,

    How can I make the date, day and month all lower case letters? Right now when using %A, %B... I get Saturday, December... but I want it to be saturday, december...

    Any ideas?

      If this is in Ditto output, or if you have PHx installed as a plugin, you could try the PHx date and lcase modifiers on a placeholder: 
      [+datefield:date=`%A, %B`:lcase+]
      (or maybe that’s the other way round, don’t have time to test it right now).

        I am using Ditto. This is what my code looks like:

        [!Ditto? &parents=`8` &display=`1` &dateFormat=`%B %d, %Y` &paginate=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`0` &tpl=`BlogTemplate`!]


        So, I guess I would add "lcase" to the &dateFormat?

          It goes in your template chunk’s date placeholder - you probably have [+date+] in BlogTemplate, you can change it to [+date:lcase+]
