Removing Date and Time

    Hi. Thank you for reading this post. I did a search about how to remove the date and time from past and future posts and pages. Everything I found on wordpress.org was three to five years old and not relevant to the current version of wordpress.

    It seems to me that some years ago you could put a check in a box and it would not display them. Now, that check box is going and has been gone for some time. Or, perhaps that check box was in a certain theme. I don’t know for sure. But I need to be able to remove the date and time without messing with the code. I’m not into programming and am afraid of messing up my work by messing with the code.

    Thank you for any help you offer!

    You have these options:

    1. Use a theme that allows a ‘checkbox’ functionality for what is output. These are ‘theme options‘ and most listed here use only basic ones. Themes not listed here are not supported here.
    2. Learn how to edit the page template(s) in use to remove the PHP/HMTL in the template that outputs what is undesired. Such work should always be done in a Child Theme.
    3. Provide a site URL and we can show you how to add CSS using a Custom CSS plugin (add plugin, then cut and paste) to ‘hide’ these elements. Doing so simply hides them in the browser and does not remove them from the source code output.

    Please research the items in italics at the Codex.

    It’s most probable that the date and time are added to your content by way of a WordPress template tag. You’ll therefore need to make some edits, ideally in a child theme. Which theme are you using?
