How to Add Dates to WordPress Posts
Not all WordPress themes display the date automatically on the posts that you make. Instead, the date is handled through a tag used within the template itself. This tag displays the month, day and year by default, although you can use other parameters to adjust the way that the date tag shows up on the WordPress blog posts.
