# Header Date

The Header Date settings allow you to display the current date in your website’s header. This feature is commonly used by news and magazine sites to keep the header fresh and relevant.

### Show Date in Header

* **Enable / Disable** the date feature in the header.
* If enabled, today’s date will appear in the **small header section**.

### Date Format

Choose which type of date you want to display:

* **Gregorian Date (Default)** – Regular date format.
* **Hijri (Islamic) Date** – Display the Islamic calendar date.

### Fix Islamic Date

If you select **Hijri Date**, you can adjust it by adding or subtracting days to align with your local calendar.

* Enter a **positive number (+1, +2, …)** to move forward.
* Enter a **negative number (-1, -2, …)** to move backward.
* Default is **0** (no adjustment).

Example:

* If your Hijri calendar is **one day behind**, set value to **+1**.

#### ✅ Tips

* Use **Hijri Date** if your audience is primarily interested in Islamic calendar events.
* Keep **Fix Islamic Date** adjusted correctly, as Hijri months can vary by region.
* Disable the date entirely if your design does not require it.
