   My website (whs59.net) has no date/time stamps in the comments/replies to all categories. Can someone point me to how to show date/time stamps? The key seems to be in the comments.php file where the line in my file reads as follows:

   <?php comment_type(__(''), __('Trackback'), __('Pingback')); ?> By <?php comment_author_link(); ?>(need timestamp for comment)<?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ' |'); ?>

   What I want is the date/time stamp for the reply where I have put the string "(need timestamp for comment)"

   I just don't know how to construct the code to replace that string. I thought I had resolved the issue with:

   <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?>

   but this posts the time of the post on all the comments/replies, not the times of the individual comments/replies.

   I need help from someone who can tell me how to extract and print the time of each individual comment/reply.

   I'm know it can be done because page

   http://whs59.net/wordpress/?feed=comments-rss2

   shows the correct timestamps for individual comments/replies. Also, this very post has a time/date stamp on it.

   In comments.php, put this line where you want to see that:

   <?php comment_date('F j, Y') ?>

   Now, I'm not sure about adding the time there, perhaps someone with more php experience will be able to help.

   Ah. This page explains: Template_Tags/comment_time

   Many thinks.

   <?php comment_date('m/j/y')?>; <?php comment_date('g:i a')?>

   gives me date and time. Issue resolved.
