Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Displaying the default date within a templateSorry, that’s not what I meant. What I want is to display the default formattin on every post in every view so that if I change the default from the Admin Panel the formatting will synchronise throughout the blog. Hence why I don’t want to format each mention of the date individually with the PHP formatting d M y etc.
(It’s a new blog and a community blog, so I wanted to try a few different formats before settling on one, without having to do loads of template editing).
So I’ve experimented with the tag “<?php the_date(); ?>” which does pick up the default as it’s supposed to. But the reason I didn’t want to use that tag was because of what it says in the codex; that it will only display the date the first time it’s called. I suspect I misunderstood that expression, and I thought that the date might not appear on a refresh. I am seeing the date as expected now though, so I don’t think there is a problem after all.
So what does that mean, that “it will only display the date the first time it’s called”?
Thanks for the reply.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Tags instead of categories please?Thanks for the tips. I am playing with Ultimate Tag Warrior. If you don’t here from me, you’ll know it worked (unless you would rather I post).
I probably will post again about the author thing – the blog is brand new and I am still playing with it so I can do what I like with the permalink structure. In fact, when I have it how I like it, I might reinstall before I launch it, since there are some leftovers in some folders from trying some other plugins.

In reply to: Small permalink strangenessThat was it! I didn’t change this myself (I’ve never used this field) so I have no idea why only these two entries were called this, but at least I can change them now to what I want.
Thank you.
