# Hide Time Metadata

 * I would like to only show the taken Date of the picture in the lightbox and hide
   the taken Time. Is there a way to do it (with CSS or Javascript maybe) ?
 * I don’t want to show the Time metadata because the Lightbox substract (or add)
   the timezone to the taken time of my pictures, instead of just showing the taken
   time (regardless of the timezone metadata). Example : one of my picture is taken
   in Western Australia at 16:05 UTC+8 (metadata are correctly written on my jpeg
   file), and the lightbox shows a taken time of 08:05 instead of 16:05. Another
   picture taken in New Zealand at 19:25 UTC+13 is shown in the lightbox at 06:25
   instead of 19:25.

 * Hey [@antoninp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoninp/)! 👋
 * Unfortunately, there isn’t a straightforward method using JavaScript or CSS to
   remove only this part of the timestamp display. The time is sourced directly 
   from the EXIF data of your image. While you can enable timezone compensation,
   it only applies to your WordPress time. Therefore, it may not be effective for
   pictures taken in various global locations.
 * For more assistance, feel free to contact me through our [support platform](https://meowapps.com/support/).
   I’ll be able to provide more in-depth help there. 😊
