# Hide post date for single post?

 * I’m looking for a way to hide the post date for particular posts. For example,
   I have a “sticky post” on my index page that I don’t want to display the date
   for. I would like the other posts on the page to show the date.
 * Is there a way to set whether to show/hide the date on a post-by-post basis, 
   _or_ a way to hide the date on sticky posts only?
 * Thanks!

 * I just tested this and it worked.
 * On index.php, you will see something like
    `<?php the_time('M jS, Y'); ?>`
 * Just use this, so that when the post is sticky, it won’t display
 *     ```
       <?php if (!is_sticky() ) { ?>
       <?php the_time('M jS, Y'); ?>
       <?php }
       ?>
       ```

 * Thanks pwhitene, this is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve implemented and
   it works! Thanks a whole bunch.

 * Great work – it works perfectly on our basic, but modified Kubrick theme.

 * Thanks! In my case, I wanted to erase all the things that are published by the
   theme if the post is sticky.
    So I set the if(!is_sticky()) around the <p> tag.
   So
 *     ```
       <p class="timestamp"><?php the_time('j F, Y (H:i)') ?> | <?php the_category(', ') ?> | By: <?php the_author(); ?><?php edit_post_link('[e]',' | ',''); ?></p>
       ```
   
 * became:
 *     ```
       <?php if (!is_sticky() ) { ?>
       <p class="timestamp"><?php the_time('j F, Y (H:i)') ?> | <?php the_category(', ') ?> | By: <?php the_author(); ?><?php edit_post_link('[e]',' | ',''); ?></p>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * Just for the search engine Visitors.. 😉
