Is there any elegant way to add the year to the post date in the black box to the left of posts? We have a site that goes back several years and would love for that to be clearer....

ModeratorHello kaylesimon,
You'll need to open up all of the various blog post type format files and change:
<span class='date-day'><?php the_time('d') ?></span> <span class='date-month'><?php the_time('M') ?></span>to
<span class='date-day'><?php the_time('d') ?></span> <span class='date-month'><?php the_time('M') ?></span> <span class='date-year'><?php the_time('Y') ?></span>These are all in the includes folder of your theme files and are labeled format-standard.php, format-gallery.php etc. Some of them don't naturally have dates and you might want to keep it that way in which case you won't need to edit anything in them (format-link.php for example).
Then, add the following to your custom.css file located in the css folder:
.date-year { display: block; text-align: center; }Make sure to save all the files and upload them back to the server when you are done. You can use a free FTP program like FileZilla to download and upload the files via FTP if you don't already have a program to do this with.
Regards,
Devin

Hey Devin,
Works like a charm, thanks much! And thanks for leaving it here for others to find.
I'd like to make the year a little smaller, though, maybe by one point. Is there an easy fix and if so, where can I add the code?
Thanks!

YES! Thanks so much, Ismael. That works.
