Joomla artciles showing today's date in front-end

Question

does anyone know why all (blog) articles in Joomla are showing the same created date (today's date) in the front-end. However, when i check in the admin (back-end) the dates seem to be fine.

I've cleared the cache (in the Joomla cache manager) as suggested by some forums but it's still showing today's date. any ideas? thanks

Hi, this worked to me, after few hours scratching my head...

Go to: /public_html/site_folder/templates/template_name/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php

Locate line 36 (for me) and replace article with item, like this:

OLD: **article**->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>

NEW: **item**->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>
