ladytubbMemberHi
Id like to change the date and format on each post, ideally so it shows Month, Year on the home page tiles. How can I do that?
Thank you!
The blog I need help with is katherinetubbcom.wordpress.com

Kathryn P.Happiness EngineerHi Katherine,
To change the date format on posts to remove the day, visit:
Manage > Settings > Writing
Under “Date and Time Format” – click the arrow on the right to open the panel.
Choose “Custom” and in the text field, enter:
F, Y
That should look like this:
F stands for full month
Y stands for full yearAlso just a heads-up that since your site has a Premium/Business plan, you’re entitled to live-chat and email support, accessible here:

You’re welcome to still post in these forums, but those other support avenues may be faster, and you’ll always get a staff reply.

ladytubbMemberThats amazing Kathryn, thank you. One last question on this topic. If I post a blog today and want it to show a different date, how can I do that?

You can back-date a post in the editor by choosing a date in the past, to modify the date displayed on the site.
Click the date to choose a date in the past:
Let me know if this achieves what you’re after!

ladytubbMemberWorks a treat – thank you. Ive also noticed for anyone else reading this post, you can remove the date altogether via Content Options/Post Details

Yes, that’s another simple option if you prefer to remove the dates entirely!
I’ll mark this thread as resolved for now, but feel free to start another – or to contact us through live chat – if we can help with anything else.
