Arabic-Indic Numerals for Arabic WordPress Plugin
Replaces "English" numbers with "Arabic" numbers in the Wordpress post date.
This plugin simply replaces Arabic numerals (a.k.a. Hindu-Arabic numerals or Indo-Arabic numerals) with Eastern Arabic numerals (a.k.a. Arabic–Indic numerals or Arabic Eastern numerals) in the date of posts or comments on WordPress. This is useful on sites using the Arabic version of WordPress, which translates month names but leaves the numbers unchanged.
Installation
- Install via the plugin directory, or upload plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ
It is recommended to set the date format in the WordPress settings menu to j F Y in order to format every date in an Arabic-friendly order (day month year), or set the format in specific places in your theme by placing <?php echo get_the_time('j F Y'); ?> in your templates. Alternatively, you can use the shortcode [Arabic_Date] to insert the current post date in Arabic on any page or post.
No, you will need to install the Arabic version of WordPress.
