How would I change the post date?
I have looked all around the forum, prior to asking. I haven't found any posts that cover my question. So here goes...

I would very much like to change the 'Posted an hour ago' (or 20 mins ago, etc) to 'Posted Today'. Any quick way, strike that, any way of accomplishing this? Any and all help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

I personally do not know of a way, you can play around with the dates in the settings and see if that accomplishes anything.

Always treat everyone with respect and courtesy, but trust no one.

Re: How would I change the post date?
Thank you for your reply. I believe I have researched all possibilities, within the available settings. This would be more of change to the core, I believe. Changes I am willing to make, as my setup is already heavily, heavily modded. I just can't seem to figure this particular solution out...

1) WordPress Timeago Plugin - http://wpsplash.com/wordpress-timeago-f ... es-plugin/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

2) Hardcode, but built-in-WordPress, Option. Very cool - http://www.upthemes.com/2010/03/wordpre ... r-comments" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: How would I change the post date?
I believe you'd change the function, ie:

index.php
Code:

<?php echo classi_time($post->post_date); ?>
functions.php
Code:

function classi_time($m_time) { $t_time = get_the_time(__('Y/m/d g:i:s A'));
Y/m/d g:i:s A
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php"

look under parameters.

Y A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits Examples: 1999 or 2003
y A two digit representation of a year Examples: 99 or 03
m Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros 01 through 12
M A short textual representation of a month, three letters Jan through Dec
Time --- ---
a Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem am or pm
A Uppercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem AM or PM

etc

More here
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time

so in theory in single.php I can replace the listing time (post date)
Code:

<?php the_time(get_option('date_format') . ' ' . get_option('time_format')) ?>
with

Posted: <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?></p>

and have
