   I would like to display the posted date only on recent posts - for example: either the most recent 7 posts or posts that were posted in the last 5 days. These numbers are just examples.

   Older posts would then display - both on the blog and single post layout - with NO DATE - it would be impossible for someone to see when it was posted just by looking at the post.

   I am sure this is possible. I think that it must require a conditional statement to select the posts before deciding whether to display the date information.

   I'm just not sure exactly how. My blog is at http://www.pwenglish.co.uk

   I would be grateful for help. Thanks Paul

   Have to use this is a loop
   

   <?php
   $mylimit=5 * 86400; //5 days * seconds per day
   $post_age = date('U') - mysql2date('U', $post->post_date_gmt);
   if ($post_age < $mylimit) {
     the_time('F j, Y');
   }
   ?>
