# Change The Date Or Time Slot Format On An Order

**Coming soon:** Iconic Delivery Slots is becoming part of Kadence Shop Kit. You may see both names used while we update the product, documentation, and customer experience.

**The code in this article requires WooCommerce Delivery Slots v1.7.7+**

It’s possible to change or modify the date and time slot content which is displayed in the admin or to the customer after placing an order.

![Delivery details for customer](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Delivery-details-for-customer.png)You can add any of the code given to your child theme’s `functions.php` file, or using the [Code Snippets](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) plugin.

## Change the Delivery Date display

To change the date display, we will use the `iconic_wds_date_display` filter.

We can use PHP’s [date()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) function to reformat the date like so:

```
/**
 * Change date display.
 *
 * @param string $date
 * @param array  $date_time
 *
 * @return string
 */
function iconic_change_date_display( $date, $date_time ) {
	if ( is_admin() ) {
		return $date;
	}

	if ( empty( $date_time['timestamp'] ) ) {
		return $date;
	}

	return date( 'l jS F, Y', $date_time['timestamp'] );
}

add_filter( 'iconic_wds_date_display', 'iconic_change_date_display', 10, 2 );
```

Firstly, we’re checking if we’re on an admin page. if we are, we return the date in its normal format. Then we check if the timestamp parameter is set. If it isn’t, we again return the date as normal. Finally, we use PHP’s `date()` function to change the format of our date.

The date/time display will now look like this:

To change the date display, we will use the `iconic_wds_time_display` filter.

```
/**
 * Change time display.
 *
 * @param string $time
 * @param array  $date_time
 *
 * @return string
 */
function iconic_change_time_display( $time, $date_time ) {
	return $time;
}

add_filter( 'iconic_wds_time_display', 'iconic_change_time_display', 10, 2 );
```

You can modify the returned `$time` string however you see fit.
