Problem displaying dates on posts

[LaurieSavage]

I have a site thequeensofthewest.band that uses a minimally altered Ananke theme: I've only changed the colours and header images. The date of creation is not showing on my posts - how can I I enable it? I have tried putting "show_date = true" in my front matter. This is the front matter of a typical post, everything works as expected except the date does not show, I checked the font size and colour in case they obscured it :
+++
author = 'Laurie Savage'
date = '2026-02-05T13:05:59+11:00'
title = 'Goodbye 2005, hello 2026'
featured image = 'img/shoes.png'
omit _header_text = true

Could you make your repository available? If it's too private maybe just add @davidsneighbour to it. The dateformat looks ok to me, but maybe you override a template somewhere? It's late here, so I am not too sure if 13:05 +11 is 00:05 on 6th or 2:05 on 5th - but that should not be relevant in regards to just the date missing - it might hide the whole post. My guess is that you have some form of template override that eradicates the date display.

There is no show_date=trueparameter, so that was well-intentioned but wouldn't work.

If you can't share the source files of your website load the page where you would expect the date and right click it and click the "show source" link (it will have a different name depending on your browser). Once that is loaded search for time class="f6 mv4 dib tracked". That is the "official" template's way to show the date. If it's there you have some form of CSS that might hide it. If it's not there then my guess is you have a template that overrides and eradicates the timestamp.

Disregard the second part of my answer... I checked your site and can see a hidden time element:

<time class="f6 mv4 dib tracked" datetime="2026-02-05T13:05:59+11:00">February 5, 2026</time>

which is set to be hidden by your stylesheets:

time {
  visibility: hidden;
  font-size: 0
}

Either share your code and I'll find the culprit or look for visibility: hidden in your styles and find out or rethink why that is there.

Brilliant! Thanks for that, it often just takes a second pair of eyes to find the bleeding obvious. I forgot I'd added a custom style before the end of last year.
