 * I purchased and uploaded a blog template from template monster, and the date 
   always shows as 17.09.2007. When I switch back to one of the default templates,
   the date shows correctly.
 * How do I get the date to show correctly on the template I uploaded?

 * Guessing it might be in your index.php file, you will to make sure the [Template_Tags/the_time](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time)
   is being used correctly.
 * If necessary, paste a copy of that file at [http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/)
   and report the link back here.
 * Also, a link to the place you downloaded the theme might be useful.

 * Oh, now I’ve got real problems! Check it out at [http://www.paulnlong.com](http://www.paulnlong.com).
 * TemplateMonster sent me new theme files single.php, index.php, and archive.php,
   and told me to update my theme with the files.
 * The problem is, I probably not only updated the theme that I was trying to change,
   I think I also updated the default theme! Anything called “index.php”, “single.
   php”, or “archive.php” I updated with the new files.
 * How can I get the old files back so I can view my site? Is there an easy fix?
   The problem is that I also can’t even log in, because I usually log in from my
   blog (and I can’t get there now).
 * Oh, the trouble I’m seeing!
    Thanks!

 * Redownload wordpress to get the default theme files again.
