when you change the date-formatter
This bothered me as well, when I changed my format. I ended up manually renaming any future pages I created. Then, as I encounter past pages (e.g. as referencing today or in a topic page) I simply rename them manually. Sometimes, I’ll take a minute and run through “all pages” and rename a few. Not awesome but leaving this here as a workflow for those who are looking for workflow (not for “all or nothing” people).
Hi Scott,
How do I change the date format for daily notes. As is possible for Obsidian.md. So instead of Feb 21nd, 2021 to Monday. Feburary. 22nd, 2021?

In the “config.edn” file (see “all files” in the right “…” menu) or get to it from the Settings page, under “:project {” you will want to edit the “:date-formatter” setting - Mine is set to “yyyy-MM-dd”.
I believe they are using Moment.js - https://momentjs.com/
So your format string would be something like “MMMM Do, YYYY”.
Finally, you’d have to go back and re-name all your previous Journal files. Your new files (dailies, etc) should get created with the new date format.
Hi @Scott_MacDonald is that you are referring to?
That is the file, you would just add the line right above the “;; Git Settings”:
;; my settings
:date-formatter “MMMM Do, YYYY”

Done.
Does it update automatically? Nothing has happened yet.
Thank you for all your help! 
For me, it happened the day when the new journal page got created. I’m not sure if you need to re-index the graph (only do this is all your local changes are committed if using Github). I think I had an issue with my mobile phone. The browser hadn’t updated my settings so the wrong file was used if I went to the site on my phone. This stopped after i figured out how to clear my local storage are reload the site.
Have you tried using /DatePicker to add a new daily page you haven’t created before? I should use the new date format (sorry, just a user and not an expert!).
I believe this is now sorted, so closing the FR. Thanks
