But this function is overridden by you with a hook and returns the event start date instead:

//Override post template tags 
add_filter('get_the_date',array('EM_Event_Post','the_date'),10,3); ...

public static function the_date( $the_date, $d = '', $post = null ){$post = get_post( $post ); if( $post->post_type == EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT ){ $EM_Event = em_get_event($post); if ( '' == $d ){ $the_date = $EM_Event->start()->i18n(get_option('date_format')); }else{ $the_date = $EM_Event->start()->i18n($d); } } return $the_date; }

...

public function start( $utc_timezone = false ){ return apply_filters('em_event_start', $this->get_datetime('start', $utc_timezone), $this); }

But that is the wrong use of this function, because according to WordPress Codex with get_the_date always the publish date is meant!

This should definitely be changed!

i am trying to get the date in my wp bakery grid builder.

so far i have created a shortcode which functions but it echos back te page date.

<?php

   function dotavatiar_function( $format = '', $post = null ) {
    $post = get_post( $post );
 
    if ( ! $post ) {
        return false;
    }
 
    $_format = ! empty( $format ) ? $format : get_option( 'date_format' );
 
    $the_date = get_post_time( $_format, false, $post, true );
 
    /**
     * Filters the date a post was published.
     *
     * @since 3.0.0
     *
     * @param string      $the_date The formatted date.
     * @param string      $format   PHP date format.
     * @param int|WP_Post $post     The post object or ID.
     */
    return apply_filters( 'get_the_date', $the_date, $format, $post );
};
add_shortcode('dotiavatar', 'dotavatiar_function');

I want to get the posts-date. This function i have written above as i said echos the page date not the posts.

Thank you

This is what I am doing:

$myposts = get_posts([
  'post_type' => 'fiveminutespodcast',
  'post_status' => 'publish', 
  'numberposts' => -1,
  'orderby' => 'title',
  'order'    => 'ASC'
]);
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) :
		$mytitle = get_the_title($post);
		$url = get_permalink($post);
		$date_time = get_the_date('M j, Y');
		echo "<a href='$url'>$mytitle</a> ($date_time)<br>";
endforeach; 

But this keeps pulling up the post_modified date – or so it seems.

I am trying to get :itemprop=”datePublished” to show up whenever the get_the_date function runs, but all that happens is i seem to overide all the info that is in the get_the_date function.

here is an example of the code i have installed in my functions.php:

/* adds schema to post date */
add_filter('get_the_date', 'schema_get_the_date');
    function schema_get_the_date($attr) {
    $attr['itemprop'] = 'datePublished';
    return $attr;
}

how can i get that itemprop to be able to appear next to the date the post was published so that it can register as schema?

if(qtrans_getLanguage() == 'fr'){}... and its always false even though I’m in the french version of my website.

<?php echo get_the_date(); ?> is always blank. This affects all pages and widgets as well.

Any thoughts? I’m stumped. No errors are being logged.

esc_html( get_the_date(j M.Y))

works just fine and looks like 26 Nov 2014 – all on one line.

But if I want to make it be something akin to:

26
Nov 2014

with 26 centered and larger than the month and year, I am not sure how to do that. Putting html in with the date codes does not work. Neither does using ‘ or / to prevent WordPress from interpreting the html as WordPress tags.

Changing this info for the loop where the post snippets are listed works just fine by editing the loop, so I know it’s possible.

Can anyone assist me in figuring out why the following is outputting “September 28, 2014” when in fact the current date (as of writing this) is “September 30, 2014”?

add_action( 'get_header', 'sk_set_date' );
function sk_set_date() {
	// if ( date("l", strtotime('+10 hours')) == 'Tuesday' ) {
	// if ( the_date( 'l' ) == 'Tuesday' ) {
	// 	echo 'Today is Tuesday';
	// }
	echo get_the_date();
}

The site is on localhost via DesktopServer which uses MAMP.

I went ahead and changed the value of “date.timezone” to “Australia/Victoria” in php.ini.

phpinfo() shows the change: https://cl.ly/image/1a1s3l0H1J2B

Any ideas?
