Hi there,

Please check now. The publish date function was disabled.

No. You misunderstood the issue.

Publish date was not the problem. I want the element to display custom date, in this case, created date instead of publish date.

Why?

Because it is an announcement for an event that will happen in the future. and if i put the publish date to that, it will not appear until that date. Therefore, if i put creation date to be 12 July 2023, and publish date today, I would like the element to show date of event 12 July 2023 and not 28 June 2023.

Please advise if not clear..

Kindly look into

Isn't possible to share future date on current moment. Thanks

I know the option is not there.. I was asking if instead of "publish date", was there any way we could display "create date"

final attempt..

is there a way, may be via custom css, or change in the PB element's code, where we replace the part where it calls "publish date" by calling "create date" please?

First, you should know how exactly the Joomla article works. We couldn't do it that you want using the article addon. Please try to understand. Thanks
