Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
I’m aware of that, but I would still like to know where exactly in the code to make the changes I described…
you can edit the function twentyten_posted_on()
(from functions.php of the parent theme) and add the edited version to functions.php of the child theme.
Thanks! Which clause exactly do I delete so it only displays a non-hyperlinked date?
for example, leave just this:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '<span class="entry-date">%1$s</span>',
get_the_date()
)
);
}
