It seems that the ordinal suffix modifier for a date once selected by the datepicker in a registration form is using an “S” character, rather than converting it into the appropriate “rd, th, st, nd”.

Hi there,
EE uses the the jQuery datepicker library which doesn’t provide an option for this, you’ll need to use another date format for the datepicker which you can do with a snippet such as this:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/1fa642d3374848b9027a38cbdd9f3d99
That function can be added to your themes functions.php file or a Custom Functions Plugin.
Or you could add your own onSelect function to add the suffix in yourself if preferred, I did a quick search and found an example of this here:

Thanks for the reply… it turns out it is actually part of the WordPress core that is at fault.
Checking the source code, just after datepicker.min.js is included, there are default parameters set. One of which was:
"dateFormat":"dS MM yy"
Going into the WordPress configuration under “Settings” then “General”, it had the default UK parameter set as jS F Y.
This must then be translated into the jQuery format of dS MM yy.
If I change the WordPress date setting to d/m/y, the issue is resolved.
A more suitable fix would be to have wp-includes/script-loader.php handle the unknown ‘S’.
I’ll submit a bug report to WordPress for this now.
