The WordPress hook "the_time" is used to display the post or page published time in a specific format. It allows developers to customize the output of the time for each post or page on their WordPress website.
This hook is commonly used within the WordPress loop to display the published time of a post or page. Developers can specify the date and time format using PHP date and time formatting characters.
Example Usage:
<?php
// Display the published time of the post in the format 'F j, Y'
$post_time = get_the_time('F j, Y');
echo $post_time;
?>
