where are you seeing this? off-hand, I know {$date} is used in viewinvoice.tpl (Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018) and the email templates (Tuesday, 23rd October 2018) - you could argue that the output inconsistency between them is a bug, but either could be fixed in the template if necessary.

e.g in the email template, changing {$date} to the code below would change the format to Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018

{$date|date_format:'l, dS F, Y'}

Thank You! And yes I did mean v7.6 sorry.

That doesn’t work, it just makes the whole email template disappear and send it in plain text... It might help to note that 1) I am using version 6.4 not 7.4, and that I am using the main email header (In general settings) Also is the a {smarty.now|date_format} That can use this date format as smarty.now for yours isnt working.

I solved it with:

{php} echo date("l, F dS, Y", time()); {/php}
