   I'm trying to write a search.php template that, when returning both pages and posts, would only return the date if the post_type was a post. Otherwise it would do nothing.

   I've tried using post_class or quest_posts but I couldn't very far with them. Anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work?

   TY.

   <?php if($post->post_type == 'post') :
   echo the_date();
   endif;?>

   Thanks for replying to my question esmi :-)

   I inserted the code into my page and here's what I have:

   http://onethousandseas.org/testblog?s=lorem

   It works well for the first few posts, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up for the next 2 that are posts but not pages (only the last article is a page which contains "lorem") which means there should be dates on the rest as well.

   Here is the code I have for the page right now:

   I'm not seeing any dates on that page of search results...

   Got it! Customized it a little:

   <?php
   if($post->post_type == 'post') {
   echo the_time('Y');
   echo the_time('M');
   echo the_time('j');
   echo the_time('H:i');
   }
   else {print "Page";}
   ?>

   But does anyone know how I can fit new lines in there? I'd like it to be something like this:

   <?php
   if($post->post_type == 'post') {
   echo the_time('Y'); [NEWLINE]
   echo the_time('M'); [NEWLINE]
   echo the_time('j'); [NEWLINE]
   echo the_time('H:i');
   }
   else {print "Page";}
   ?>
