 * You can use the date_format parameter to specify how the date should be formatted.
   For more information, see [Formatting Date and Time](https://wordpress.org/support/article/formatting-date-and-time/).
 * I believe the format you want is: [display-posts include_date=”true” date_format
   =”F j, Y”]

 * Can I have the date in a separate line?

 * Yes, by using CSS.
 * Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and add:
 * `.display-posts-listing .date { display: block; }`
