   I use custom template for one page and I recently encountered a little problem with the_date(). $cat[0] is a string containing name of the category.
   

   $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&category_name='."$cat[0]".'&orderby=date&post_status=&offset=1');
   	foreach($myposts as $post)
   	{
   		setup_postdata($post);
   		/*(...)*/
   		the_title();
   		the_permalink();
   		the_date();
   		echo $post->post_date;
   	}

   the_title gives right output - title. Permalink also shows up, but the_date() gives no result for one post - it works fine for all others. It's even more interesting that $post->post_date contains correct data for this post.
   At the moment I “hacked” this and I use date('Y-m-d', strtotime($post->post_date)) which gives expected results, but still there's something wrong either with my code (??) or with the_date() function.

   the_date only outputs once per date.... so if you have more than one post on that date, nothing will output

   using the_time (with date formatting) works for multiple posts per date

   How is it possible that I haven't seen the big warning in codex? o.O
   Problem solved, sorry for my stupidity.
