    You can go through below steps
    Theme Compatibility:
    Some themes might override the default WordPress date settings. Check if your theme has its own settings for date formats. You can look for these settings in the Theme Options or Customizer.
    Cache Issues:
    If you have a caching plugin installed, the old date format might be cached. Clear your website cache and your browser cache to see if the new format appears.
    Incorrect Settings:
    Ensure you are updating the date format in the correct location. The settings should be updated in the WordPress dashboard under Settings > General > Date Format.
    Plugin Conflicts:
    Some plugins might interfere with the date format settings. Deactivate all plugins and check if the issue persists. If the date format updates correctly after deactivating the plugins, reactivate them one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.
    Hardcoded Date Formats:
    In some cases, the date format might be hardcoded in the theme or plugin files. You might need to edit the PHP files directly. Look for the_date(), the_time(), or similar functions in your theme’s template files.
    Locale Settings:
    The date format might be affected by your    strong text** site’s locale settings. Ensure that the locale settings in Settings > General > Site Language are set correctly.
    Custom Code:
    If you or a developer have added custom code to your theme or a child theme, it might be overriding the default date format. Check the theme’s functions.php file or any custom plugin for such code.**
