# Edit timestamp problem

 * I recently updated from WP 1.5 to 1.5.2 and I observed an odd phenomena: In the
   Edit timestamp portion of the Advanced section of the Write page, the months 
   in the month drop-down list fails to display.
 * This problem also manifests itself in the sidebar: the months in the Monthly 
   Archive heading does not display too.
 * I am using the Plain Vanilla theme. The site is [http://www.picture-city.com/blog](http://www.picture-city.com/blog)
 * I hope someone can offer a solution on how to fix this. Thanks!

 * The dropdown works perfectly fine here on v1.5.2 using Firefox.
 * View the source of the edit page and tell us what you see. It should be something
   like this:
 * ` <td><fieldset><legend><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="edit_date"
   value="1" id="timestamp" /> <label for="timestamp">Edit timestamp</label></legend
   ><select name="mm">
    <option value="1">January</option> <option value="2">February
   </option> <option value="3">March</option> <option value="4">April</option> <
   option value="5">May</option> <option value="6">June</option> <option value="
   7">July</option> <option value="8">August</option> <option value="9" selected
   ='selected'>September</option> <option value="10">October</option> <option value
   ="11">November</option> <option value="12">December</option> </select>

 * Hi Viper007Bond, thanks for the assist. I did what you recommended; I looked 
   in the edit.php and edit-form-advanced.php. The code you quoted doesn’t appear.
 * Also, I have another WP 1.5.2 site (also upgraded from WP 1.5) on another server
   and this problem does not occur at all.
 * Strange.

 * No, visit the edit page with your browser and then view the page’s HTML. It was
   so that if it was there, we would know it’s a browser issue, and if it wasn’t,
   we’d know it’s a server issue.
 * Anyway, since it works on another site with your browser, then it’s a server 
   issue.
 * What version of PHP is the problematic box running?
 * (If you didn’t know, make a new text file, put `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` in it, and
   then rename it to like `phpinfo.php` and then upload it to your server. Then 
   visit it with your browser.)

 * Yes, the month names did not appear in the problematic WP installation. It did,
   however, with the other one.
 * The PHP version is 4.3.11.
