@TSharma55, that filter has been deprecated. I recommend using the hubl below. This hubl uses the [format\_date filter](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/filters#format-date) which is based on [unicode LDML patterns](https://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Format_Patterns). The MMM portion will format the month in the abbreviated style you want.

`{{rec_post.publish_date|format_date('MMM d, y')}}`
