   Hi There,

   I have a problem...

   I have a static home page and on there I display 5 latest posts with the the date and then the amount of characters limited to 35. This works fine. However, if there are 2 or more posts entered on the same date, then the date is only shown next to the most recent post, but I actually want the date to be show on them all, regardless. Please help!

   <div id="home_latest_news">
   <h1>Latest News</h1>
   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5'); ?>
   <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <div class="news_entries">
   <div>">
   <?php the_date('d/m/y');?>
   - </div>
   <div>">
   <?php $content = get_the_content();
   $content = strip_tags($content);
   echo substr($content, 0, 45);
   ?>
   ...</div>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </div>

   SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same day, you should use the Template Tag the_time() with a date-specific format string.
