Hi,

when you’re editing your custom date field, you can see “Display format” on the bottom. This will format the display of the date.

If you’re setting the format in wp backend, use JS date format, but you can also format the date later in PHP – use the code from example

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('date_picker'));
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');
