Hah, I figured out an easier solution without having to resort to the php (whew)

I wrapped my post_date within a div and then used CSS to define the div such that the text wrapped within it to look like the desired effect. ex https://www.axtran.com/

It’s kind of a hack but it works ??

Ah figures, guess I will need to get to work on learning that php!

I’m using the Canvas theme by Woothemes. Ideally I’d like my dates to look like the dates on this blog https://chrisblattman.com/ – simple and distinguished. Though I fear implementing it won’t be so simple. Thanks for your help!

Hmm but you can’t do things like add line breaks to separate the day and month, for example, or to make one element stand out above the other? (if you could that would be amazing… can you??)
I have a strong feeling I need to change the_date() via functions.php but I just don’t know how that should look. Still digging around the web…

Thanks again Andrew – I remember you helped me on these forums last time I had a problem. The script is working!

The problem still remains as to getting it to load and execute on the site. Did I do something wrong in the functions.php or other steps leading up to it?

Thanks for the quick reply – I took out the html tag again (I kept tweaking the code to try to pinpoint the problem, you might’ve just loaded the site when I did that…)

Here’s a screenshot to better explain what’s going on: https://i.imgur.com/J4plKZT.png

When I load the page the image is at the bottom, but when I scroll down it just stays where it is (neither of which I want to happen, trying to get it to stick to the very bottom of the page always). I feel like I must be missing something extremely obvious….
