When it rains, it pours...
I just rewrote most of HebrewDates. The new version is 2.0.0, and is available at the Hebrew Dates release page.
There's basically no reason to use yesterday's 1.0.4 release.
New features:
- Complete rewrite of the date identification; much more reliable
- Code actually looks slightly sane now. I'm no longer embarrassed for someone to look at it (although it's not great...)
- New
get_the_hebrew_date()andthe_hebrew_date()APIs, which can be used in any theme. The interception of the other calls, while much more robust now, still is not the ideal
Please let me know if there are any bugs. Archives should work, and some weird date formats should also be better (I no longer rely on PHP's strtotime, but have my own parsing logic).
Thanks for the update. The replacement of single and double quotes with Geresh and Gershayim makes the date display much more visually appealing. I also confirmed that it works with the new default 2010 theme.

I'd join to KosherJava thanks.
Great job.
Thanks. With 2.0.3, I think I finally have a version that "just works".
Hi Mike,
I tried to use your plugin "Hebrew Dates in WordPress" but it "killed2 my website. Instead Hebrew date I got just line where it should be, nothing more on the screen. I deactivated your plugin, website works again. Any idea?
Hi Robert,
I haven't seen that before. If you tell me what theme you're using, I can try it and see if I see any issues.
I assume you took the latest version from wordpress.org, correct?
Thanks for response. I'm using Wynton Magazine theme (you can find it here http://wp-themes.der-prinz.com/wyntonmagazine/) – my website you can find @ http://www.jewishiphonecommunity.org; and yes I took plugin just from my WordPress' dashboard.
I will try to look into it.

I would love to either do your olnnie workshop if you offer them. Or possible if your in the southern California area. I am finally following my dreams and want to be able to learn as much I can. Reading your little story about having a daughter at 19, really hit home for me. As I am too became a mother at 19, growing into the single mother role & now having a husband who loves her as his own. You are such an inspiration to me, I am shedding tears as I write. I hope to meet you one day and really get some amazing training from you..Jessica
