What It Does

Seed Buddhist Year will change the output year to Buddhist year or Buddhist Era (BE) but will not affect microformat, which uses Christian/Common Era (CE).

Just install and it will override these functions: get_the_date(), the_date(), get_the_time(), the_time().

This plugin will not work if your theme uses other standard ways to output the date and time.
