Hi, try this

echo Html::span(empty($post
        ->getPublishedAt()) ? '' : $post
        ->getPublishedAt() 
        ->format('H:i d.m.Y'));

Hi, try this

echo Html::span(empty($post
        ->getPublishedAt()) ? '' : $post
        ->getPublishedAt() 
        ->format('H:i d.m.Y'));

Also you can try a null-safe operator:

echo Html::span($post->getPublishedAt()?->format('H:i d.m.Y'));

But I suggest to find more convenient workaround and change the view's logic because you may get by {user} at output there.

Both approaches above work well.

Brilliant! Thank you for your contribution pcbal. I will try xepozz's suggestion on issue #462. Desperately looking for simplification of issue 462 into a simple 'save' instead of separate 'add' and 'edit' functions even though my solution works.
