    Which theme is this?

    twenty twelve

    Twenty Twelve uses a function twentytwelve_entry_meta defined in theme’s functions.php file to display entry meta information. You can modify it to unlink the items you don’t want to be displayed as links.

    Then you need to set up a Child Theme first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    Then create a functions.php file in your Child Theme and add your modified twentytwelve_entry_meta function, e.g:

    <?php 
    
    function twentytwelve_entry_meta() {
    	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
    	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );
    
    	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
    	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );
    
    	$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',
    		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
    		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
    		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
    		esc_html( get_the_date() )
    	);
    
    	$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',
    		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
    		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentytwelve' ), get_the_author() ) ),
    		get_the_author()
    	);
    
    	// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
    	if ( $tag_list ) {
    		$utility_text = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.', 'twentytwelve' );
    	} elseif ( $categories_list ) {
    		$utility_text = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.', 'twentytwelve' );
    	} else {
    		$utility_text = __( 'This entry was posted on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.', 'twentytwelve' );
    	}
    
    	printf(
    		$utility_text,
    		$categories_list,
    		$tag_list,
    		$date,
    		$author
    	);
    }
    ?>

    What’s in your Child Theme style.css file?

    It needs to be a “css” file that has a “.css” extension.

    when i created the style.css folder it wouldn’t let me edit the folder because there is nothing in the folder so i had to create a word file and save it as a plain text file.i don’t know how else to save a file as a css file because my laptop doesn’t have that option to convert it to a css file.

    Can you rename it and manually replace the “.txt” extension with “.css”?

    i can save it with a .css at the end but the file itself will either be a word document, plain text, rich text or whatever file option windows gives me and then i have to upload it to my directory under the style.css folder.
