Show DATE instead of featured Image thumb

If you want more customization of the layout, I’d recommend my other plugin Mini Loops. The setup is a different, but it provides the same functionality with a lot more control.

Is mini Loops able to create such a “Date Icon” for a post?

Truthfully, I’m not really sure what you mean by “date icon.”

Do you mean just a very stylized date so that it looks like more of an icon than just text? If so, in Mini Loops you have the option of wrapping the date in as much markup as needed so you can use CSS to style it however you like.

However, CSS support is beyond what I’m able to give at this time, so if you’re looking for how to implement that styling, then you’ll need find someone else.

Yes that is what I am looking for.
I know how to style such a date wrap, so thats not a problem.
I will do a test installation!
Thanx
