 * I wanted to remove post dates and tried a few plugins but they aren’y working–

 * Using my browser inspector I find that the date has a class of post-time, so 
   this CSS will stop it displaying:
 *     ```
       .post-time {
        display:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Add this to your sites CSS, most easily in the additional CSS tab of the customizer.

 * Hey Ross,
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * I tried it in the additional CSS and also the body but it doesn’t seem to be 
   working.
 * Any idea where else I would place it?
 * Thanks again 🙂

 * If it is in the additional CSS and has no effect, then you need to find out why.
   Like is a stronger style masking this one, or something. This requires you to
   use the “Browser inspector” of your web browser to see what CSS is active in 
   your pages etc.
    Like try:
 *     ```
       span.post-time {
        display:none;
       }
       ```

 * Hey Ross,
 * Sorry for the late reply.
 * The only thing I can find from the source is this:
 * [code]#post-entry .post-content a, #author-bio a, #post-related a, #commentpost.
   fn a, ol.pinglist a, #post-navigator-single a,#commentpost #rssfeed a, #commentpost.
   comment_text a, #commentpost p a, .post-time-feat a {
    color: #ed0000; }[/code]
 * It’s a span class but I don’t know where it is in the theme – post-time-feat 
   but removing these are breaking the design.. Tried doing post-time one by one
   but I can’t get the one showing the time on the homepage..
 * Thanks for helping

 * Your browser inspector will answer your questions as to where the css is and 
   so on.
    Also removing CSS is totally how not to do this, you need to add the 
   css needed to modify the themne, not vandalise it by cutting pieces out. If you
   can’t or won’t learn how to use the browser inspector you are in for a very tedious
   time.

 * I am trying…
 * If editing the CSS for the theme through the wordpress panel is making a change
   it must be the CSS in use.. and I reverted the CSS code to the original – Adding
   the code to the additional CSS doesn’t do anything. But thanks for trying

 * > I am trying…
 * I assure you that the effort of learning to use the browser inspector will repay
   you untold fold.
 * If the css you are putting into additional CSS is not having any impact you have
   to find out why. When the css daemons do this to me I change the css from “display:
   none;” to something less subtle, such as “background:red;”
