Time of the blogs published is always "00:00:00"

[utkarsh2102]

Hi,

It gets a little inconvenient to see that each of the blog gets published at "00:00:00".
Can this be fixed?
Or is there any workaround for it?

Hi @utkarsh2102,

Can you explain more what's your problem? Are you talking about the default date value for new blog posts?

[utkarsh2102]

Hiya,

Yeah, by default the time that appeared on my blogs was 00:00.
I just found out that we need to add the time with the date itself.

On another note, can we have another variable, time, after date, which takes in the time explicitly?

Yeah, by default the time that appeared on my blogs was 00:00.

The time is not displayed on the blog posts unless you change the dateFormat config parameter to this for example: 02 Jan 06 15:04 MST.

I think you're talking about the time displayed in the RSS feed, is that right ?
Also, if you run hugo new posts/filename.md, the date and time are automatically writed in the new post file.

For which purpose?

You are very right! 😄

Aha, perfect! 💯

I think I was using it wrong so far, thanks to you, I understood the right way 🚀
