 * Hello, I’m using
 *     ```
       ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
             <?php
           // Fetch most recent posts, limit to 1
       		$latest_posts = get_posts( array(
       			'posts_per_page' => 1,
       		) );
           // get first and only item in array
       		$latest_post  = $latest_posts[0];
       	?>
   
       	<div class="Ptitle"><h1><a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $latest_post->ID ); ?>"><?php echo $latest_post->post_title; ?></a></h1><h3><span class="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span></h3></div>
          	<?php if ( has_excerpt( $latest_post ) ) : ?>
       	<p><?php echo $latest_post->post_excerpt; ?></p>
       	<p>
       	  <?php else : ?>
       	  <?php echo strip_shortcodes(wp_trim_words( $latest_post->post_content, 50 )); // '250' is number of words ?>
   
       	  <?php endif; ?>
   
       	  </p>
       	<p><a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $latest_post->ID ); ?>"> Read More...</a></p>
       ```
   
 * at the moment to show the most resent post and in the code I use
    `<span class
   ="entry-date"><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></span>` to show the post date, but
   it says 23 of Oct even though it was posted today (29 of Oct) and on the edit
   post page it says 29?
 * Can someone please help me resolve this! and look here if you’ve got time too.
