Show 'posted date' from Feed on homepage

  • Hi guys, my first post here. On my home page https://www.punchlime.com I have an RSS feed that is bring up the latest 5 blog posts however I now want to add a date when they were posted and have no idea how to do it. The code I am using to get the title is below. I just want to extract the date (not the time) and have no idea how to do that. Any help (and sample code) will be great. Thanks!

    <ul class="separated">
<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '<li>No items.</li>';
else
// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
<li>
<a href='<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>'
title='<?php echo 'Posted '.$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?>'>
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?></a>
</li>

    I found a way to do this by adding:
    <?php echo ''.$item->get_date('j F'); echo ' - ' ?>

    However any idea how to show it only as 17 Jan << Instead of 17 January?

    Thanks.

    <?php echo ''.$item->get_date('j F'); ?>
    It’s shown only Day and full month name like “07 February”.

    <ul class="separated">
<?php if ($maxitems == 0) echo '<li>No items.</li>';
else
// Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink.
global $post;
foreach ( $rss_items as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post);
 ?>
<li>
<a href='<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>'
title='<?php echo 'Posted '.$item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a'); ?>'>
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?></a>
</li>

    Use this code “setup_postdata() is missing”
