# Dates on posts

 * Hi,
 * I’m using the free version at the moment and have two related questions.
    1. The ‘meta-dates’ shown on the front page are the dates that posts are created
       not the dates they are published. Is it possible to change this to the published
       dates as I tend to batch write my posts and then schedule publishing and ideally
       need the publishing dates.
    2. If it’s not possible, can I remove the dates from the ‘highlight’ scroll on 
       the front page in the same as I can for the other blocks in the theme.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdates-on-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Apologies – I have now found the answer to question 1 so everything is good.
 * Please close the thread
