    Your site is using the plugin “batcache”. The date was generated into a static file when the cache was last updated. This is a side-effect of server-side caching. You need to either exclude that bit of the site from the cache or hide it. I’d go for the latter as really, what’s the point of showing my today’s date?

    This CSS will hide it:

    span.topbar-date {
        display: none;
    }

    For help on the caching issue, I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/batcache/#new-post so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this. HOWEVER, note that that plugin has not been updated in over 4 years and is probably abandoned. I recommend finding another caching plugin.

    Finally, there may be some way to deal with this at the theme level. I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/newsium#new-post so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    This is not a plugin that I have. At least it’s not listed on my installed plugins.

    you said I have a plugin called batcache? I used the css you recommended and the date is hidden now. I was just curious about this plugin.

    Yes. It’s put a comment into the bottom of your page’s source.
