Custom function to return date without time

Also is there a way to make it work with multiple different pods, not just ‘rebate_applications’?

Thanks!

I’m going to sleep at the moment so sorry if this is too short, but the date time string can be parsed to a date integer with https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php then parsed back to a string with https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

You can get the post type from the post ID with

<?php

add_shortcode(
	'date_only',
	function( $atts, $content, $shortcode_tag ) {
		return return_date_only( get_the_ID() );
	}
);

function return_date_only( $id ) {
	$date_time = get_post_meta( $id, 'application_date', true );
	return date(
		'M j, Y',
		strtotime( $date_time )
	);
}
