Hi, I just set up my wordpress blog, it is almost perfect, but I need help to do the following:
#Show my name/nickname with the post
#Show the time in the header
#Show the date in the format I set it to (19-02-2010 rather than February 19th, 2010)
Thanks :)

Posted 2 years ago ## In the index.php of your theme you have to add some metadata:
<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> -->
just below
<?php the_title(); ?># that'll probably require a plugin.
# Options->general custom data j F Y and custom time G:i

Posted 2 years ago #Thanks for replying. I will edit the index and try to install the plugin. But the thing is, I have already changed the date and time to my custom formats. They are showing up properly in the example, but when I made a post, it did not have the correct date format.
Edit: Not actually sure I need the plugin, I have probably phrased the question wrongly, but thank you anyway.
Another edit: That data already seems to be in the file. For some reason only the date is showing where the author and time should be. It is a theme issue however as the other theme did not have the same problem. I will keep trying to fix it, but I think I have the info I need. Thank you.

That is why the F jS, Y part is in the code for the_time. You can use the same format as in the settings screen. Also see:

It could be some easy code, but I don't know it...
[edit] inspiration?

Posted 2 years ago #That's what I did ;) It is all fixed now.
What I meant by header was actually the part where the title and author are shown. I didn't know what to call it. So I don't need a plugin.
