How can the PHP code be modified to display the creation date and time of a post instead of just the relative time?

To display the creation date and time of a post instead of just the relative time, you can modify the PHP code to retrieve the actual timestamp of the post from the database and then format it in a human-readable date and time format using PHP date() function. 

// Retrieve the creation date and time of the post from the database
$post_date = get_the_date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

// Format the date and time in a human-readable format
$formatted_date = date('F j, Y \a\t g:i a', strtotime($post_date));

// Display the formatted date and time
echo 'Post created on: ' . $formatted_date;
