  I have one blog that shows the date in my posts, and another blog that doesn’t. They both have the same theme and I haven’t done any editing of the code or anything like that. I’m not that savvy. As far as I know, all settings are the same. Why is this? And how can I get the date to show up?

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

  Hello there!

  Could you please give me the URLs to the two WordPress.com blogs in question? I see that you have 6 in your My Sites list.

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  I am moving them to BlueHost, but the same issue is happening. The WordPress.com links are below:

  https://lbombardier.wordpress.com/musings/ – this one has the issues with the date.

  https://lbombwriting.wordpress.com/ – this one has the date the way I want it – both for blog and for single posts.

  Hi there!

  Thank you so much for those links. There seems to be something a bit funky going on with the CSS code that displays dates in your theme.

  What I’ve done to rectify this, while the theme’s developers take a look at the issue, is to add some CSS code to your CSS revisions box that can be found here: https://lbombardier.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?

  This is the code I added, in case you need it for the self-hosted site as well:

  .entry-date {
  display: block;
  }

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Thank you! That is exactly what I needed. I’ll try it in the self-hosted site, too.

  Fabulous :) Glad I could help with that.

  I did open up a ticket on our end to report the trouble. I really appreciate that you let us know about the issue!
