Where is php code for rendering post meta-date?
This is my first foray into trying to write custom php within a WordPress theme so please bear with me on this basic question ...
I wish to modify the post-meta info shown at the bottom of a blog post in WordPress -- from the CE4 default of "<author><date>" back to what we had in CE3: "Posted on <date>". I have searched high & low trying to find the php code that writes the html but for the life of me can't find it. Here's the html generated:
My understanding is that, once I find it, I can copy the relevant php function into my /phplugins/phplugins.php file, with necessary modifications ... right?
Or maybe there is another way to "skin this cat"? TIA!

Re: Where is php code for rendering post meta-date?
if you're doing this in WordPress, the best way would probably be to create a child theme and put the function in the child theme's functions.php file.
look in the theme files. It looks like the code is in the loop.php file.
