Title: Post date under post title Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Post date under post title * Resolved [ananzeh25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ananzeh25/) * (@ananzeh25) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/) * Hi, * I want to thank you for you great plugin. It is the best out there so far. I was wondering of the way to add the date of the post under the post title. I want my related posts to have the date beneath them. * Thank you * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/related-posts-by-taxonomy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/related-posts-by-taxonomy/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Author [keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) * (@keesiemeijer) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337417) * Hi ananzeh25 * You can override the template files used by this plugin. [http://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/templates/](http://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/templates/) * Use the WordPress function get_the_date() in a template of your own. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_date](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_date) * Here is an example for the links template (related-posts-links.php) with the date after the post title: [http://pastebin.com/0hRR1GZn](http://pastebin.com/0hRR1GZn) * Follow the instructions for [the first method](http://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/templates/#copying) in the link above to have it use this template. * Thread Starter [ananzeh25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ananzeh25/) * (@ananzeh25) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337530) * Hi, * Thank you for you reply. What I did that I added to all of the four templates so I can see quick result but nothing happened. * I think I need to place the code somewhere in the function file. My related posts are taxonomy and thumbnail/gallery related functionality. * Thank you, Ibra * Plugin Author [keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) * (@keesiemeijer) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337531) * Does it work with the links format? * For adding the date to the post thumbnail captions you’ll need to use this filter. [http://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/filters/#related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption](http://keesiemeijer.wordpress.com/related-posts-by-taxonomy/filters/#related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption) * Here’s an example for in your theme’s functions.php: * ``` add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'km_rpbt_add_date_to_caption', 10, 3); function km_rpbt_add_date_to_caption($caption, $related, $args ) { $caption .= ''; $caption .= get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $related->ID); $caption .= ''; return $caption; } ``` * btw: consider creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) instead of editing your theme directly – if you upgrade the theme all your modifications will be lost. Or [create a plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pluginception/) with the code above. * Thread Starter [ananzeh25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ananzeh25/) * (@ananzeh25) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337556) * Thank you keesiemeijer * Working as it suppose to. The date didn’t work with the link template. * Here what I tried to do is to replace the title with the date and it is working. I did that because i work in photos gallery theme. * ``` add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'link_related_caption', 10, 2 ); function link_related_caption( $caption, $post ){ $caption = get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $related->ID); return $caption; } ``` * I was wondering though how to locate the date before the title. * Thread Starter [ananzeh25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ananzeh25/) * (@ananzeh25) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337558) * The above code doesn’t bring the right date here the right one: * ``` add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'link_related_caption', 10, 2 ); function link_related_caption( $caption, $related, $args ){ $caption .= ''; $caption = get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $related->ID); $caption .= ''; return $caption; } ``` * Still can’t figure how to locate the post title under the post date. * Plugin Author [keesiemeijer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keesiemeijer/) * (@keesiemeijer) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337559) * Try it with this: * ``` add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'link_related_caption', 10, 3 ); function link_related_caption( $caption, $related, $args ) { $date = ''; $date .= get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $related->ID ); $date .= ''; return $date . $caption; } ``` * Thread Starter [ananzeh25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ananzeh25/) * (@ananzeh25) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-under-post-title/#post-5337560) * It works.

Can you specify where I’m supposed to post this code? I put it in themes functions.php file and it didn’t work. I want to display the date underneath the image above the title.

I tried but that only shows the date for one post, if that’s the code where do I place it? * If not, What do I add to the related-posts-thumbnails.php file? I want the date to be above the title.
