Hello @jonathan
Thanks, I did it and got this message:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTime::__construct():
Failed to parse time string (17/07/2015) at position 0 (1):
Unexpected character’ in /home/eurovia1/public_html/wildlion/wp-content/themes/wildlion/single-artista.php:207
Stack trace: #0 /home/eurovia1/public_html/wildlion/wp-content/themes/wildlion/single-artista.php(207): DateTime->__construct(’17/07/2015′)
#1 /home/eurovia1/public_html/wildlion/wp-includes/template-loader.php(74): include(‘/home/eurovia1/…’)
#2 /home/eurovia1/public_html/wildlion/wp-blog-header.php(16): require_once(‘/home/eurovia1/…’)

#4 {main} thrown in /home/eurovia1/public_html/wildlion/wp-content/themes/wildlion/single-artista.php on line 207
So I searched for a solution and came up with this code:
<?php
$datetime_string = get_field('fecha_del_evento');
$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', '$datetime_string');
$month = date_i18n('M', strtotime($datetime));
$day = date_i18n('d', strtotime($datetime));
?>
<?php echo $day; ?>
<?php echo $month; ?>
The code returns the current day, while changing date_i18n to date returns 01-Jan. From here I’m a bit blocked.
