 * Hi. I was wondering if there’s a way to remove the date from all posts but keep
   the “by author” thing. I’ve been trying the entry-meta display: none but it removes
   everything. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi M
 * You can add the following css to the theme’s style.css file to make this work.
   I will advice you to add this css [using child theme](http://www.sourcexpress.com/wordpress-child-themes-use/),
   so that the changes made remain preserved even after theme update.
 *     ```
       .entry-meta .posted-on  {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * hope it helps!!

 * Hi,
    It works for my board, but it still shows on Facebook if I share the post.
   Where can I delete the code? Thanks
