Patchwork主题的patchwork_posted_on（）方法不适用于最新的Wordpress

Question

I just upgraded a blog I host to WordPress 3.9.1. On that blog, I use the Patchwork theme. Following that, the blog stopped working. I couldn't see any serverside PHP errors - that's likely due to a misconfiguration of my logging. On the browser side, I could see I was getting HTTP 500 with Chrome's Developer Tools.

I eventually realized the problem came from this method in the Patchwork theme:

function patchwork_posted_on() {
    printf( __( 'Posted on <a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span></span>', 'patchwork' ),
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() ),
        esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'patchwork' ), get_the_author() ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_author() )
    );
}

I haven't done a lot of PHP in a while so I'm struggling to see what's wrong with it. Considering it worked with Wordpress 3.9.0 and it doesn't work anymore, I am tempted to say that one of the methods here has been deprecated.

Does anyone have an idea?

--- EDIT ---

I didn't write the theme and it hasn't been updated in a very long time so the issue must come from a change either in wordpress that breaks the theme or in another plugin I could have updated.

Also, the error that I get is that the post page gets generated all the way up to the title and then when it's about to print Posted on ... By ... it dies. That is in fact what led me to investigate whatever was being called at that point.

Thanks.

From what I can gather, get_the_date() is the one creating the problem. I can still find pages at wordpress describing it but it is not in the function index.

I updated my code to use get_the_time only:

echo __('<!--:en-->By <!--:--><!--:fr-->Par <!--:-->'.'<a class="url fn n" href="'.esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ).'" title="Voir tous les articles de '.esc_html( get_the_author() ).'" rel="author">'.esc_html( get_the_author() ).'</a><!--:en--> on '.get_the_time('F j, Y').'<!--:--><!--:fr--> le '.get_the_time('j F Y').'<!--:-->' );

BTW, since then, I had the issue on another blog - separate wordpress on the same PHP server.
