   Hi all,

   I've crated a customized breadcrumb in the archives template. What I want is display in the breadcrumb a title like "Archive for March". Everything works perfect, except the the_time formatting. Despite of what format I apply, I always get the same formatting, i.e. "Month dd, yyyy". In the example below, I've also pasted another test that I made with get_the_time which it just doesn't work.

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
    			<?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
   
   			<?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
   				<h2>Archive for <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h2>
   
   			<?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
   				<h2>Archive for <?php get_the_time('F, Y', $post->ID); ?></h2>
   
   		<?php } ?>

   What should I do? Any help is welcomed.
   Many thanks

   <h2>Archive for <?php echo get_the_time('F, Y', $post->ID); ?>

   Excellent!
   Many thanks esmi.

   As you can see, I'm not an expert :-(
   If possible, can you let me know why:
   1. "<?php the_time('F, Y'); ?>" doesn't use echo?
   2. The formatting for "<?php the_time('F, Y'); ?>" doesn't work?

   Thanks again,
   a

   1. the_time function echoes the output as part of the function.

   2. It works just fine for me.
