  The date on each post is wrong when it is published. When I go in to edit the date it’s correct.

  Example: I wrote a post today, 12.2.2013, but when I publish the post the date and view it from my blog home page the date says 8.3.2012.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  This is related to the date settings you have under Settings > General in your dashboard. Next to Date Format, you have the date “8.3.2012” entered there. That’s why that date is showing up on all of your posts.

  If you want to use that date format, you’ll need to enter the date format characters to create that date in your settings (instead of entering actual numbers there). This page lists all the different date format characters:

  To create a date like the one you entered, you’ll need to enter this custom date format:

  n.j.Y

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
