 * Hi Meave,
 * Is there a way to show the post date of a knowledgebase article on the individual
   article page? I guess I could remember to type it in 🙂 but I was hoping that
   it might be able to be displayed automatically.
 * Thanks.

 * Look at the installation instructions:
 * > In the plugin’s root directory you will find a folder called template. You 
   > can override that folder and any of the files within, by copying them into 
   > your active theme and renaming the folder to /yourtheme/wp_knowledgebase. WP
   > Knowledgebase plugin will automatically load any template files you have in
   > that folder in your theme, and use them instead of its default template files.
   > If no such folder or files exist in your theme, it will use the ones from the
   > plugin.
 * I would start with copying wp-knowledgebase/template/single-kbe_knowledgebase.
   php to your theme folder and edit (i.e. add the date) around line 54ff
 *     ```
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <?php
            the_content();
       ```
   
 * to something like this
 *     ```
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <span class="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>
       <?php
            the_content();
       ```
   
 * (Untested approach as I haven’t yet done anything apart from installing and activating
   the plugin)
 * For hints on how to include the date it might be worth having a look at e.g. 
   your theme’s content-single.php (assuming the post date is shown there)
