How do I show the year in K2 articles? Today it only shows the day and month. We have several articles from 2012 and earlier.

See attached, thanks!

Single article or blog roll also?

Is there an answer to this question? I would like to display the year as well.

You need to edit those files:
templates/gk_startup/html/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php
templates/gk_startup/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php
templates/gk_startup/html/com_k2/templates/default/latest_item.php
templates/gk_startup/html/com_k2/templates/default/tag.php
templates/gk_startup/html/com_k2/templates/generic.php

In each find this block:

Code: Select all: <time datetime="<?php echo JHtml::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_(DATE_W3C)); ?>"> <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M')); ?> </time>

And replace this line:

Code: Select all: <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M')); ?>

with

Code: Select all: <?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->created, JText::_('d M, Y')); ?>
