Display Current Date

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

    I have a page that has data that will be seen based on the current date. So, today you’ll see a list of things that took place on this date, which the year occurring before the event.

    However, I feel like it will look nicer if I also display today’s current date at the top of the page under the title.

    Is there a quick and easy way to do that and I’m just missing it somewhere?

    That does certainly look like it’d do the trick, but I’d love to avoid installing another plugin just to simply display a date. I’ll keep that on dock if there’s nothing simpler that comes up though.

    Thanks!

    Look at the source code of the plugin. And use the applicable lines of code in the page where you want it appear.

    or

    Simply use something like this: <?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?>

    I appreciate your support on this. Unfortunately, code is far from my thing and I don’t really know what to do with the string you suggested. That can just be posted in the editor of the page?

    Just copy and paste it using a plain text editor like MS notepad.
