How can I add the current date to a page

[masel1951]

Is there an easy way to add the current date to a page with cornerstone (x-theme). I am using a page to show that i posted something, and I want the date to show.

For example the following code will display the date.

<?php echo date(get_option(‘date_format’)); ?>

But I cannot see where to add it without the date showing up on all pages.

Hello @masel1951,

Thanks for writing to us.

In case if you want to display the current date you can use the dynamic content code in the Cornerstone builder.
{{dc:global:date format="F j, Y"}}

In case if you want to display any post publish date. You can use Publish Date dynamic content.

Hope it helps
Thanks
