1. the_time( 'm/d/Y' );
   

   or

   the_date( 'm/d/Y' );
   

   Note, the_date() will not print the same value twice. If a second post would get the same output you get nothing.

   If your theme doesn’t set a fixed value, like Twenty Twelve …

   get_the_date()
   

   … then the format is taken from your settings in Settings/General Settings:

   

   You can change the format here, no need to change the theme.
