Troubleshoot post date archive link
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown on pages?
Date archives list blog posts only.
Why is the date different from the post?
It uses the site's time zone, as the archive does.
How do I write the date differently?
Enter a PHP date format such as "M Y".
Why does the archive page look plain?
Its design comes from your theme or archive template.
