    I published a post today and it has the incorrect date (Sept. 19). It appeared on my site below older posts (based on the date). When I changed the date of the post to Sept. 23, it disappeared from the site and showed as a future post.

    I’m assuming something is off with my theme, but I’m not sure how to fix it. I’m a complete newby and will need dumbed down instructions.

    the time setting on your server might be wrong. check with your hosts.

    Can you be more specific? I searched all over BlueHost and can not find anything relevant.

    You need to contact your hosts and ask about the server date.

    I checked with BlueHost and they say nothing is wrong on their end. I’ve started a thread in the wp.com staff forum, but had no response yet.

    And wp.com sent me here. Can anyone help?

    WordPress.org and WordPress.com are separate.

    Create a file named test.php and put in the following code.

    <?php
// prints something like: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:12:46 UTC
echo date(DATE_RFC822);
?>

    Upload test.php onto your server in the http root folder. That’ll be the same directory where the wp-content, wp-admin and wp-includes folders are located.

    Visit the file at http://domain.com/test.php and check the output.
