Adding a date stamp

Could be you need to use the template tag, the_time(), rather than the_date(), in your template.

Quote from the_date()

SPECIAL NOTE: When there are multiple posts on a page published under the SAME DAY, the_date() only displays the date for the first post (that is, the first instance of the_date()). To repeat the date for posts published under the same day, you should use the Template Tag the_time() with a date-specific format string.
Use <?php the_time(get_option(‘date_format’)); ?> to add the date set in the admin interface. (if you have problems, try removing the quotes around date_format. Both seem to work.)

Just tried that and nothing happened. I even removed the quotes. Any other suggestions that I might try?

With the help of the Template Hierarchy article, determine what Template is displaying those posts. Then please paste all the code from that template into a pastebin such as wordpress.pastebin.com, and report the link back here.

Maybe someone can spot your problem. Thanks.

Also provide a link to download the theme you are using.

If I did this correctly, here’s the code:

Here’s the theme I’m using:

Thanks!

That template does look like it uses the_time() so look for other template files (e.g. home.php) in that theme folder that display posts and add the_time(). If necessary, ask the developer if they have any suggestions.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for all your help.
