Does anyone know how to change the date format for blog posts to the UK way of day/month/year instead of the default American format?

Yes! Your site-wide date format is controlled by the language setting:

  • Go to Settings > Site languages > under LANGUAGE/REGION (or use “/” to search for it)
  • Select English (United Kingdom)
  • Click “Save

You can see step-by-step with screenshots in my blog post How to change the date format from US to UK

The other issue you might notice is that you can't change the date format to how you like it. e.g. DD/MM/YY or dd mm yyyy. There isn't a way to do that in Squarespace, but you can use @Beyondspace's free tool. You'll need business plan or above.

You can see how I used it in my blog post Top tip for changing the date format of blogs

Let me know how it goes.
