How to insert dates to entries

  • I love the theme very much, but it turned out the design doesn’t imply dates to the entries (or maybe, I can’t find them?). Is there any way to insert dates? Maybe with some plugin?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Hello,

    You don’t need a plugin but if you are willing to edit the code they can be added in. Go to the theme editor and select template-tags.php to edit. Scroll down roughly halfway and find the line // Set up and print post meta information..

    Replace the line directly below it with:

    printf( '<span class="byline">' . date('d-m-Y', strtotime($post->post_date)) .'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="author vcard">BY <a class="url fn n" href="%4$s" rel="author">%5$s</a></span></span>',

    Make sure you click Update File. This will print the date just before the author on posts and post listings.

    Go to the theme editor and select template-tags.php to edit.

    If you edit the theme files directly you will lose those changes when you update the theme. I’d recommend you create a child theme, copy the template file to the child theme and make your changes there. Here’s a Codex article:

    You can also use a plugin to create a child theme:
