I'm using a little handy trick to show the post-date only when the post is from another day by putting it outsite the post-area (but within the loop of course). The problem is, I styled it with a background and it looks well on the post with the date but not on the post without the date. How can I tell wordpress to show nothing when the "date is not givin".

Thanks!!!

please post the code of that 'little handy trick' – Michael Aug 13 '11 at 10:34
pastebin.com/FZrwAjXc Heres the code. It just shows the date once per day. – juliusk Aug 13 '11 at 12:58

If I understood your question, you can enclose the logic you provided with a check to see if the date has been set.

You can use:

if isset(the_date()) {
// display post-date
}

You either need to pass false to the $echo parameter of the_date(), or else use the is_new_day() conditional, in order to parse your if condition properly. – Chip Bennett Nov 28 '11 at 20:57
