    Hello,

    I am trying to figure out a way to remove posts dates completely, but I do not simply just want to hide it with CSS, but rather, I want it to be removed in such a way that search engines can’t even pick up the publish date. I really just don’t need dates showing for my evergreen content site; it’s not necessary and actually is a drawback. I definitely would appreciate any help, thanks!

    I’m looking for the same thing for the same reason.

    UPDATE Thus far I have had to remove it form the php files.
    I can’t find a plugin that will remove the date for this theme. Plenty work with other themes, but not this one.

    So you removed it from Hueman theme php files? If so, what exactly did you remove?

    @multimastery. Just copy the file single-author-date.php at hueman/parts/single-author-date.php into the same directory in your child theme (create a folder called ‘part’ (without the quotes) in your child theme). Then delete everything in it and save as a blank file. Plus, it is not advisable to remove post dates in WordPress posts. See this article.

    @politicske Thanks, will try that. And that reference article is old, the person who wrote this did in fact end up deleting post dates and just keeping “Last Updated” showing.

    The person did not delete the post date. They just changed the format of the post date from the published date to last updated date. Like the ‘last updated’ part of what you see in the hueman theme. So, when they make any new edits to the post, the date changes to the date the post was updated.

    Ok I got it to display last updated date only, thanks!
