Dynamic Data Retriever Output Formatting Issue

Hello,

Thank you so much for getting in touch.

You could change the Date Format by going to your WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General and using a custom Date Format like M d, Y to input the abbreviated month. Like this:

Here’s a documentation by WordPress regarding this matter as well:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Thank you for that clarification.

Unfortunately, the functionality of the existing variables like %currentmonth% cannot be modified.

However, to achieve the structure you have described, then you can create a custom variable using this filter and use it instead:

add_action('rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function () {
    rank_math_register_var_replacement(
        'currentmonth_short',
        [
            'name'        => esc_html__('Current Month Short form', 'rank-math'),
            'description' => esc_html__('Current month in 3 letter format', 'rank-math'),
            'variable'    => 'currentmonth_short',
            'example'     => currentmonth_short_callback(),
        ],
        'currentmonth_short_callback'
    );
});
function currentmonth_short_callback()
{
    $date = date('M', time());
    return $date;
}

After applying the code, you can use the variable %currentmonth_short%.

Here’s how you can add a filter/hook to your WordPress site:
