Hmmm...Since it's dong the same thing on two different websites (on the same server) - is it possible some server setting is causing this? The newest site is just a test bed for K2, and the only thing it has installed is in fact K2. If it could be something server-related, any idea what I could have my hosting provider check for?

It's surely server related. Ask them to double-check the timezone set for the server itself and if there is any customization for the timezone in PHP and/or MySQL/MariaDB.

And of course, just to make things more interesting... one of the sites I host uses WordPress, and check out what happens when you go to the Archive and select a particular month: www.wherefaithmeetslife.com/

Each CMS is different. But I like how Joomla exposes what appears to be an issue on your server.

OK, I found the issue... at least, I removed some regular Joomla plugins and it's working now. Not sure which plugin was the culprit, but I didn't think anything I had could have messed up K2...

Now, all I need to know is where I can update the CSS so I can adjust some of the look and feel...

This means that some plugin was enforcing a different time zone which messed up editing entirely (and the dates records in the database were stored).

As for styling K2, use this guide for reference: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

K2's default CSS can easily be overwritten or entirely switched off (in K2's settings). By making use of sub-template overrides and category parameter inheritance, you'll soon discover the true power of K2 :)

I think I'm missing something. IN my understanding, I needed to add a file - /templates/YOURTEMPLATE/css/k2.css to my system, which I did, with the following lines:

div.k2Pagination ul li a { color: #10316b; } div.k2CategoriesListBlock ul li, div.k2ArchivesBlock ul li { margin-bottom: 0px; } div.itemAuthorBlock { background: inherit; border: inherit; } div.itemNavigation { background: inherit; } div.itemToolbar { background: inherit; } div.itemListCategory { background: inherit; border: none; } div.itemListCategory img { display: none; }

However, it's not having any effect. I've cleared my cache, so I know that's not it.
