What is a Post Date Block?

The Post Date Block automatically displays the publishing date of your blog posts where they are featured in a Query Block.

How it Works

The default post date will automatically appear in the Post Date Block when you add it. You can’t edit the post date within the block; adding it will pull the date set on the post itself. This block is part of the Post Template Block child items that also include Featured Image, Post Title, Post Author, Post Excerpt, and Post Terms.

Block Settings

You can customize the Post Date Block using Style and Settings options, giving you great flexibility in how you tailor elements to your design.

Styles Tab

Text Settings

Text settings govern the text that makes up the date. This applies to all date text in the Query Block.

Text Style

This setting allows you to style the text using the styles you’ve set in Global Styles > Typography.
