 * I would like to use the date format of “August 11, 2015”.
 * Currently, it appears the only options are:
 * Buttons and text: “This entry was posted in [Category Button] on August 11, 2015
   by [Author]”
    Text only: “11 Aug, 2015 in [Category] by Author”
 * The category button looks terrible, and the lead in text is unnecessary. I want
   everything about the Text only option, just the ability to change the date format.
 * How do I do this?

 * Hello,
    set the text only option. Then in your child-theme functions.php use 
   this filter: [https://github.com/Nikeo/customizr/blob/master/inc/parts/class-content-post_metas.php#L483](https://github.com/Nikeo/customizr/blob/master/inc/parts/class-content-post_metas.php#L483)
 * so:
    `add_filter('tc_meta_date_format', '__return_empty_string');`
 * This way you’ll use the date you set in wordpress Settings -> General -> Date
   Format
 * Hope this helps

 * Thanks for the info. I am not using a child-theme, and even if I were, I am not
   sure I would know where/how to alter the functions.php file
