I will try to convince you with this post to stay intact with wordpress. Why? simply because it’s best platform out there. There are many cms around but wordpress being a blog platform in it’s heart still provides a lot of cms functionality even other professional cms don’t provide. To be frank I have been using wordpress as my development platform of choice for just a year or less. I was in phase of choosing a cms platform that i could comfortably work with and i am happy I choosed worpress as it’s customizable and not to complex. I tried many other options like, drupal, joomla, movable type etc etc… but what satisfied me was wordpress. It’s most actively developed and contributed opensource cms. Recent releases have been very active and there is a active community of people backing this system. Many high profile sites uses wordpress as it’s cms and blogging choice. You can see some at http://wpexpo.com (a wordpress site gallery). If you are in dilemma of choosing any platform close your eyes and choose wordpress I’m sure you will not regret.

I think there are other better ways than mine to change the time and locale in wordpress but what i came up with quickly was to set the locale to spanish and then use strftime function to change the time to spanish language.

  1. set the locale in the theme header.php file.
    setlocale(LC_ALL, ‘es_ES.UTF8′); //at the very top of the theme header file.
  2. using strftime function to change the time in the wordpress loop function.
    <?php echo strftime(“%A, %d”,strtotime(get_the_time(‘d M Y’)));?> de <?php echo strftime(“%B”,strtotime(get_the_time(‘d M Y’)));?> de <?php echo strftime(“%Y”, strtotime(get_the_time(‘d M Y’)));?>

This was how i set the locale for time to spanish in wordpress. if you have better ways out please comment.
