You can see everything returned via php’s var_dump
or print_r
:
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $recent_posts );
echo '</pre>';
This will reveal that the date is stored in post_date
:
foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ):
echo $recent['post_date'];
endforeach;
Or to format the date, use php’s date
and strtotime
:
echo date( 'l F jS', strtotime( $recent['post_date'] ) );
