 I'm having a doubt with
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_time/
 (probably the same with
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_date/)
 They both say 'Retrieve the date on which the post was written.', but from
 some programming I'm doing now it looks more like 'Retrieve the date on
 which the post was PUBLISHED.'.

 Test: create a post in draft or pending and check that date using the
 function. (I'm doing it with a CPT)
