 * Just installed a fresh 3.1.1, and something is wrong with the date in my installation.
   It shows the 30th of april and not the correct date in the posts.
    I checked 
   the general adjustments, and put my local time, but it’s still not working.
 * Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

 * mistermagoo, with the fresh install, did you import content from another wordpress
   blog or site?

 * WordPress use the server’s time + your local time adjustments to calculate the
   correct date/time, so it’s just possible that this could be an issue with the
   server. Have you spoken to your host about it?

 * Hi,
 * I didn’t import any content, everything is superfresh.
    But I did transform the
   language of the admin, from english to spanish, plus I tweaked a few things in
   the theme I’m using. Do you think it might be related to the theme?
 * I just contacted my server helpdesk, and he ask me to open a ticket, and now 
   I will check the whm. Yes, perhaps sthing’s wrong there.

 * It’s possible. Have you tried switching to the Twenty Ten theme to see if this
   resolves the problem? Are you running any plugins?

 * I just checked the whm and time and date zone are good. But, I just checked with
   the 2010 theme, and it’s showing the right date. Sorry, my mistake 🙂
    So it’s
   the theme… I’ll try to find the error, but if you know ahead what to do, would
   be apreciated, thnx.

 * It could be almost any file in the theme. What code does the theme use to display
   the date in (say) index.php? Usually, it’s something like `<?php the_date();?
   >` to `<?php the_time;?>`.

 * hmm, perhaps the theme is too old.
    Not sure, but this is the lines of code I
   found in the index, and in the single php.
 * > <div class=”dd”><?php the_time(‘t’); ?></div>
   >  <div class=”mo”><?php the_time(‘
   > M’); ?></div>
 * Perhaps for month, I need to change to: ?php the_date(‘M’); ?
    I’ll try.

 * nope:(
    I guess I need to further search the error… but, thank you, now I’m closer
   to the solution.

 * The template tags look correct. Perhaps there’s something in the theme’s functions.
   php file (or any other non-template files that the theme includes) that is messing
   up the date?

 * after checking, can’t find anything relevant in the functions.php, but rather
   in the archive.php.
    Do you think it’s related to it?

 * Nevermind, I found another solution.
    I changed to code to <?php the_date();?
   >, and adapted the css. Thank you.
