I'm not sure why this option is missing - surely this is a standard blogging feature? 

Looking for the same thing. Seems like something that should be included.

I'm working on a blog for a client and they'd like to have the blog post date displayed in a certain format on the blog page and blog post page. Unless I'm blind, I don't see any format/display options for dates. On the blog page itself, dates are showing up like this: 03/04/20, and on the actual blog post, the date shows up like this: Mar 4.
 
I'd love to see ability to control date formatting (numbers, month names, hide year, show year, change the delimiters, etc). At the very least, be consistent across pages!

I'm new to squarespace. Do I really have to upgrade from personal to business to display the year in my blog section? From what I understand, the only way to format the date is with custom scripts. I don't understand why this is so difficult (or expensive).

I've been searching for this solution and am delighted to have found it for my [business plan] website with blog posts going back years. It was crazy that on my Blog Post summary page, all the posts are identified by full date, but on each individual page, they are not. Someone scrolling through old posts can easily have no idea of the proper time context of each post. So thank you.
But . . . gotta agree with @aht, this should be included in all plans. There is no reason to limit this minuscule bit of clarity from lower tier plans.
