 * Hello
 * We have a problem with the_time, when we use `<?php the_time('d/m/Y');?>` or 
   other format the page returns simply **d/m/Y** not the date
 * This is an exmple of our code
 *     ```
       /*** FORMA 2 - 01/08/2012 ***/?>
   
       <div class="entry">
   
        <span style="font-weight:bold;"><?php the_time('d/m/Y');?></span>
   
       	  <h2><?php the_title();?></h2>
        	 <?php //the_advanced_excerpt('length=10');
          ob_start();
          the_advanced_excerpt('length=8');
          $postOutput = preg_replace('/<img[^>]+./','', ob_get_contents());
          ob_end_clean();
          echo $postOutput;
   
        ?>
       ```
   
 * The result is:
 * d/m/Y
