 * I’ve just installed Amble, imported some old posts, edited them and have the 
   same date problem as [@pastorcg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pastorcg/),
   does anyone know the fix?

 * Hi [@skromta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skromta/) – As noted in my 
   original post, I ended up doing some actual SQL updates in the WP database to
   make the dates appear the way that I wanted. Not ideal, but it worked fine. I
   backed up the entire site first. I took a very cautious and careful approach 
   to avoid any unfortunate oops moments.
 * As a long-time technology industry guy [multi-vocational along with my Pastor
   duties], I had enough experience to write the queries to read the records and
   make prudent updates to the right ones. I still did a little research on the 
   fields in the posts tables and so on, so this is not necessarily the best approach
   for everyone.
 * It might be an opportunity to look for a plugin that is designed to help you 
   update those values through the WordPress admin interface rather than through
   brute force SQL commands. 🙂

 * Before I started to look into the SQL part, I decided to look at the generated
   HTML, the CSS and the PHP code (I’m don’t know much about any of these three).
   And ended up with an another type of solution.
 * I changed the following lines in the CSS file
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .published:not(.updated) {  display: none;}
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .updated{	display: none; }.published:not(.updated) {  /* display: none; */}
       ```
   
 * And yes, I know that until I can move this CSS code out of the theme CSS then
   it will disappear when the theme is updated. But for the time being it seems 
   to work. Another possible solution would be to modify the `amble_posted_on` function
   in the `template-functions.php` file but modifying the CSS file seemed easier.
