HI,
I would like to take the date off my website. Any ideas how to do so?
I would like to understand:
Does the 'home' page always have to be a post page with a blog. I have tried to set up a new 'page' called 'home' or 'front page' as a static 'page and make this the first page seen when viewing my site. However the current 'home' page which is a 'post page' always stays as the first page viewed.
So I am trying to achieve a 'home' page that is not a blog and does not have the left hand side bar when viewing it (see http://www.recordmyfamilyhistory.com).
Gosh hope that makes sense! Thank-you Rachel
Date and time info is displayed with template tag, the_date(), or likely the_time(). You will need to use Template Hierarchy to determine what Template(s) display the date/time and delete the_time or the_date code. There are hundreds of threads on this same question in these Forums.
As for the home page question see How can I have a static front page and posts display on a page called Blog?

you will need to create a Page template
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
DO NOT name it home (anything else is ok)
go to
admin - settings - reading
choose "static home" option
now create an empty Page and title it "Blog"
admin - settings - reading
choose this as your blog page
I would assume you can remove the date code in your theme's index.php and single.php

I tried to create a frontpage.php file and uploaded with Filezilla (FTP)I, however unable to see the frontpage.php file in my wordpress editor. I find the steps above in creating a page template by wordpress to not be clear. Am i missing something??? Can I just take the side bar off the home page instead. (the links 'uncategorized' & 'add a comment'. Any ideas appreciated!
