<div class="entry-head"> <span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments','habitat'), __('1 Comment','habitat'), __('% Comments','habitat')); ?></span> <span class="categories"><?php the_category(', '); echo $terms; ?></span> </div>and after
<div class="entry-head">and before:

You can use the post meta function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta and custom fields for custom dates and custom data in general.

<span class="date"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></span>
Will make the date appear on the post page itself when put where you did. To make it display on your homepage you can go in index.php and do the same (but the date is already on the left side.. so that'd be strange).To make it have some style you can add the following to the bottom of style.css
.date{ float:left; display:block; padding:0 17px; text-decoration: none; background:url("images/shared/icon_arrow.png") no-repeat 5px 3px scroll transparent; }Posted 1 year ago # -
I want to delete the side date and put it in the entry head! But also i want to add a date next to the publish date that shows an expiration date of an event or a competition and must be a future date and different to the other posts!
For further explanation: if you look my two (test) posts; they are announce competitions with prizes and someday the competition will end and i want to put an expiration date next to publish date . Also another parameter is that in every post the expiration date may be different! How can i do this? And also how can i put an icon such as the bubble in the comment?

Thanks! I fix it! I want some little help... Now i want to put next to the date in the entry-head a future date that will be different from post to post and a sentence or word before the date such as : "Competition expires: 31-7-2011" and in another post "Competition expires: 25-7-2011" .. How can i do this?

Hey,
you can use custom fields and the get_post_meta function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta to implement custom dates. You need to modify the portfolio options if you want to use custom fields with portfolio entries. To do this, open /theme_options/portfolio.php and find this code$args = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'public' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => array('slug'=>$slugRule,'with_front'=>true), 'query_var' => true, 'show_in_nav_menus'=> false, 'menu_position' => 5, 'supports' => array('title','thumbnail','excerpt','editor','comments') );Change the supports to include custom fields like this:
$args = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'public' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => false, 'rewrite' => array('slug'=>$slugRule,'with_front'=>true), 'query_var' => true, 'show_in_nav_menus'=> false, 'menu_position' => 5, 'supports' => array('title','thumbnail','excerpt','editor','comments','custom-fields') );Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes but post meta is post specific... you can enter another date for each post. Kriesi wrote a tutorial here: http://www.kriesi.at/archives/how-to-use-wordpress-custom-fields

You can use what Dude gave you to assign a custom date to your post, with the custom field tutorial by Kriesi. I don't see the problem?
