[Resolved] Style post date

[David]

Hi Guys, do you have a function to help with styling the post date? I need to give the date a calendar look. Three character month stacked on top of day.

thanks

David

EDIT: If possible this would be the modified date.

You would likely need to hook your own date in along with the required HTML markup. Any examples of the look you’re going for?

[David]

The hook version is what i was working on. Its a simple stack like an old calendar pad:

20
APR
2018

Syled so the three are a justified block.

What I would do is:

1. Find a site that has the type of look you want, and take the HTML.

2. Replace the static values (month, day, year) with the necessary PHP to output the correct values.

3. Use the same CSS the site is using to style it.

Let me know if you get stuck along the way 🙂

thanks Tom always appreciated. I am sure ill have a working solution… just in time for the client to change their mind (again….)

[Tom]

No problem – I’m here if you need help with it.

Thanks Tom.
Sorted. Added URL to original post. Will add link and position on post…. if they don’t change their mind. Back to footer styling!
