[Resolved] icon for date on posts

[Mark]

I would like to have my posts appear on the front page, but instead of the text-based date associated with each post, I would like to have an icon badge for the date. I know some themes come with this. Is there a way to do this in generate press, or GP premium which I have?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi there,

So it’s an icon that constantly changing to match the date?

Can you provide an example?

[Mark]

Hi Leo,
Thanks for getting back to me. A couple of examples:
1, Siteground has a free theme called “Dreamplace” uses these icons
2. The All in one Events Calendar uses these icons in the “Agenda” view.

Basically it is a square background image that the date gets printed on. The number day of the month is in a large font.

Hey Mark,

Any chance you can link me to one of those examples? I’m not having any luck finding them.

Hi Tom,

Here is a link to the theme. Just to the left of a post you can see the date thumbnail.

That would be quite difficult to achieve with the way the current date HTML is set up. I could give it a shot with some CSS, but it looks like you’ve switched themes for now.

Let me know if you want to give it a shot.

Tom,

Don’t bother with it. I will do without it.

Thanks,
