How to put a range of dates for published label?

[ayousuf23]

I want to add a range of dates for the published label for items in the portfolio. For example, next to "Published" I want it to say "September-October 2020" instead of "October 1, 2020." How can I do this?

The published field is determined by page.date which you either specify directly in a post's YAML Front Matter, or Jekyll assigns it for you automatically based on the filename. e.g. 2020-10-07-my-post.md would have a page.date of 2020-10-07 which this line runs through Jekyll's date filter here to generate October 7, 2020.

You could customize the theme, add your own YAML Front Matter like published_range: "September-October 2020" and then use something like this where you want the range to appear on the page:

Published: {{ page.published_range }}
