one example
<p><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
Also see the_time() for more formatting choices
To clarify, I meant having the date just before the body of the post, not the title.
For instance:
<h2>Here’s the title of the post</h2>
<p>(DATE) – And here’s the post body …</p>
<p>Another paragraph …</p>
<p>…</p>
Comments area
So find where the_content() is used and put something like
<?php the_time('m.d.y') ?>
I’ve searched for every instance of the_content() and I cannot figure out how to make the date appear where I’ve illustrated above. Can you be more specific?
With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying your posts (could be your theme’s index.php).
Then look for the template tag, the_content().
If you are not currently displaying the whole post content then you may not find the_content.
If necessary use http://wingrep.com on a local copy of your theme to find the_content.
Alchymyth,
Would would that be placed?
instead of <?php the_content(); ?>
in each template file of your theme where you want to show this construct – index.php, single.php, archive.php .. (?)
Unfortunately, that didn’t work. It placed the date before the first <p> tag:
(Oct.22.2010) –
<p>
Is there a way to force it just before that opening <p>?
