Hi, can you help me how to solve this year date problem in the blog that Squarespace has omitted and doesn't want to fix?

The complete date is present externally, only after opening the blog of the contents it only has the day and month without the year, see the screen shoot.

I don't know where to proceed to insert the HTML code so that this date comes out automatically when I publish the blog,

I have little experience with HTML codes since the date cannot be changed from the blog, I think we need to go into the resources, thanks if anyone can answer me.       Thank you  Anna

Yes I know your pain 🙃 There is a free plugin you can use to manage date format (you'll need business plan or above to use it).

Here is the free plugin by Beyond space https://www.beyondspace.studio/customise-squarespace-date-format/?ref=mtofgbrf

I have a blog post that describes how to use it Change date format of blogs in Squarespace

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

@Anna2409 Unfortunately the code injection is a premium feature that's not available on the Personal plan. For some codes that require a code block, you may be able to get it to work on a personal plan using a markdown block, but this wouldn't be possible in this case.
