[wp-forums] get_the_time and get_the_date with custom post types in TwentyEleven theme

[Francisco de Azevedo]

Hello everybody,

I am resending this email because I dont; know if I sent it right the first
time, so my apologies if its duplicated.
I noticed a strange behavior in the Twenty Eleven theme while helping out
in this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-date-and-custom-post-type?replies=3#post-2443523.
The user could not get custom post type dates to show inside the
"entry-meta" div of the TwentyEleven theme, nor in the Graphene theme. I
checked the "twentyeleven_posted_on()" function, and that info is being
retrieved through "get_the_time()" and "get_the_date()" (called from a
printf function). I found another tenth-month old thread where another user
is reporting the same problem:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-types-date-based-archives?replies=1
.
Another thing worthy of mention is that, in the topic in question, the user
was able to successfully display custom post type dates by echoing the
get_the_date tag.
Bottomline, is it normal that the tags in question are not working with
custom post types, or could the problem be related to the printf function?
