Localization Settings

Control Panel Location: Admin ‣ Localization Settings

This section of the Control Panel allows you to define the default localization settings for your website.

Note

Each member of your site can override these default settings by changing their own localization settings.

Site Timezone

Specify the default timezone for your site. All dates and times displayed by ExpressionEngine will be localized to this timezone unless overridden by a member’s own localization preferences.

Default Date Formatting

Default Time Formatting

Specify whether your site should display times in a 24-hour format or a 12-hour format with AM and PM.

Include Seconds in the Default Time Format
