Movable Type Knowledge Base: Dates Only Show Up For Some Entries

Question

When I post more than one entry per day, the date only shows up for the most recent entry. How do I make the date show for every entry?

Answer

The default templates use the <MTDateHeader> container tag to control the display of entry dates:

<MTDateHeader>
<h2><$MTEntryDate format="%x"$></h2>
</MTDateHeader>

The MTDateHeader tag is a container tag, and the contents of this container will be displayed only if this entry marks a new day in the list of entries.

So, in order to have the date display for all entries, you must remove the <MTDateHeader> and </MTDateHeader> tags from your template(s).
