   Hello there!

   I am having great deal of trouble removing all dates and times from my posts and pages. I am using a theme called "Holistic Tea House" and cannot find any _time or _date in the php files.

   I need HELP! Thank you!

   Check index.php, page.php and single.php.

   You should see code like this:

   <?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>

   Just remove that and you should be fine. I don't like having dates on pages myself, but if I am blogging, I generally do have a date, but make it very unobtrusive, like a byline. :)

   Hi Joni, thank you so much for your prompt response.
   I have search all those php files and cannot find code like that
   [the_date]. Is there anything else it could be?

   Not that I know of. php the_date is what spits the post and page date out. There's really no other way for it to get on there. What does your index.php file look like?

   could it have something to do with a permalink?

   Hmm. That doesn't really look like WP code. It looks like some javascript I've seen since the 1990s, last modified. Are you using some plugin that might be putting that code there?

   I hate to ask again, but can you cut and paste just the part of your code that is between the .normaltext division in index.php? If you look there and find the <p><small> code, it's right after that. Looks like a plugin to me, but not sure until I see that template code. :)

   mmm.. Sounds a bit tricky!! thanks again. I hope this is right;

   </div><!--CONTENT CATOGORY TAGS ENDS HERE-->
   <div class="normaltext"><!--CONTENT STARTS HERE -->
   <div><?php the_content(); ?></div>
   <div class="linkpages"><?php wp_link_pages(); ?></div>

    Weird. I don't see anything in that code that would be causing it. If you View Source (this is the output from your template above), you get this:

    </div><!--CONTENT CATOGORY TAGS ENDS HERE-->
    <div class="normaltext">
    <div><p id="top" />
    <h2><a href="http://voftwines.com.au/blog/?p=139">Sauvignon Blanc</a><a name="139" /></h2>
    <p><small>Last modified on 2010-03-05 06:10:45 GMT. <a href="http://voftwines.com.au/blog/?p=139#comments">0 comments</a>. <a href="#top">Top</a>. </small>

    That stuff between the small tags is what you need to stomp out. Also, it's calling the comments code and I don't see that anywhere in your template code either. Find THAT and the errant date/timestamp code is right there.

    Are you using any plugins that might be placing that code?

    i installed a plugin that is meant to remove the date and time. It didn't work so i deactivated it. Thanks for sticking with this one! :)

    Look in some of your other templates and also in your functions.php file to see if that code string (starting with <small> is there.
