You missed the ‘echo’.
<?php echo $dlm_download->post->post_date; ?>

Thanks. Do I need to use post_content instead of the_content ?
And how format the date ?
$dlm_download->post->post_content;
post_date returns a date string – you can use PHP functions such as strtotime() and date() to manipulate the format.

Hello,
content_date gives the date of the custom post not of the files upload. How to get this ?
The file upload date is not stored because you can paste in file urls and it has no way of knowing the date.
If you want the date the download was last modified use ->post_modified
If you want the date the ‘version’ was created, there is no function. But it can be retried though get_post on the version ID.

OK, so to be sure I understood: there is no direct function to get this date http://tof.canardpc.com/show/432e1f6d-4e32-41ae-82eb-c78fd2242b79.html ?
I suppose it will be OK with post_modified…
I added <?php echo $dlm_download->post->post_date; ?> to a template file and it pulled the date.
How can i get it formatted properly, with no time.

This will get the post date to display in a reasonable format.
<?php echo date(‘F j, Y’, strtotime($dlm_download->post->post_date));?>
Turns this: 2014-03-18 17:19:39
Into this: March 18, 2014
