 * you can change the date format in Settings > General
    but from the image it looks
   like a bug on the theme, the problem could on one these files: single.php content.
   php or functions.php it depends on your theme. check these file in order. you
   need to be a bit familiar with php to fix it.

 * OK – i solved it. I comment some lines in template-tags.php
 *     ```
       /*	if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) )
       		$time_string .= '<time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';*/
       ```

 * The 2 dates are:
    – publish date – update/modify date
 * It should be styled differently. But we will simply remove the modify date on
   the next theme update.
