 * Hey,
 * we would like to know how to activate the date display of the articles. We just
   want the “upload date” to be visible for everyone, but only in the “article section”.
 * We would be thankful for any help!
    Thanks!

 * what is ‘article section’?
    single post? – then edit single.php (?) home page?–
   then edit index.php (?) might be in loop.php (?) is the ‘upload date’ the same
   as the ‘publish date’ ?
 * all of you have not supplied enough details for a more concise answer.
 * theme?
    link to your site? where exactly in relation to the post title or content
   do you want to show the date?

 * First of all, thanks for your quick reply!
    Yes, the “upload date” is the same
   as the “publish date”. We want the date to be visible next to the headline of
   every post. But not on the whole homepage like e.g. the main page, just for certain
   posts. On our page you’ll find them in the “news” section. Sorry, we’re totally
   beginners, but we hope that you now better understand what we mean.

 * link to your site?
 * does the ‘news’ section have its own template?

 * Well, this is our main page: [http://www.fs-romanistik-bonn.de/](http://www.fs-romanistik-bonn.de/)
   
   On the sidebar you’ll find “Aktuelles” which are the news. By clicking on it 
   you’ll get to the posts ( the link still doesn’t work because the theme is still
   not activated, we think): [http://www.fs-romanistik-bonn.de/?p=459](http://www.fs-romanistik-bonn.de/?p=459).
   E.g. on the first post “Weihnachtsfrühstück” we want to have the publish date
   in the same line. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 * the date etc info is aready in your template; just suppressed with some global‘
   display: none;’, ‘font-size:0px;’, ‘color:#000;’ etc, on some of the css styles.
 * reverse that.
 * and then you really need to find a way to define: ‘just for certain posts’ in
   a way that it could be programmed using either the css classes already output
   for each post div; or in terms of conditional tags.
