I have two specific needs that I could not understand how to do.

1. I need to show the date in a specific format and it must separate the elements day, month and year. How do I get the field the_field (‘date’), and separates it?

2. How to limit the amount of characters in the text area the_field (‘details’); ?

Hi @rcriche

1. Please look over the documentation for examples of formatting a date field:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/date-picker/

2. You can use a PHP function such as substr
