Displaying the Month and Year that a page was Created?
Question
How can I display only the Month and Year that a page was created?
Background
I have a page that will get changes has a field that shows the month and year. It needs to be in Month and year format like December 2013
Code
I previously had this in my template, to display (for example) December 2013:
time?php the_time('F Y') ?:/time
But since it will only show up on a specific page I wrote this
?php
if ( is_page('about/mission-statement/')) {
$post_month_year = get_post_time(get_option('date_format'), false, $post, true);
echo 'time' . $post_month_year . ':' . '/time';
}
?
But that gives me the date with the day in addition, December 12, 2013.
So the problem is that variable. I thought I could just do something like
$post_month_year = 'the_time('F Y’)';
I just need the month and year. What did I do wrong and how can I best address this?
