 * Hello, I want to remove the dates from archived posts. Here is the archive.php
   file:
 * <h2 class=”pagetitle”><?php printf(__(‘Archive for the ‘%1$s’ Category’), single_cat_title(”,
   false)); ?></h2>
    <?php endif; ?>
 *  <?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
    <h2 class=”
   pagetitle”><?php printf(__(‘Archive for %1$s’), get_the_time(__(‘F jS, Y’)));?
   ></h2>
 *  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
    <h2 class
   =”pagetitle”><?php printf(__(‘Archive for %1$s’), get_the_time(__(‘F, Y’))); ?
   ></h2>
 *  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
    <h2 class
   =”pagetitle”><?php printf(__(‘Archive for %1$s’), get_the_time(‘Y’)); ?></h2>
 * Do I remove code starting from [get_the_time] until the final [)]?
 * Thank you for your help.

 * That probably isn’t the right code you want to change if you are wishing to no
   longer display the date with each post.
 * Look for something like ‘the_date’ or ‘the_time’.

 * MichaelH, is the key in the [Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works.] section?
 * I have been able already to turn off the date on current posts, I am concerned
   now with the archives.
 * Thanks for your help, sorry to post so much code. How can I post code in a neater
   fashion?

 * Michael, you can see where it says “Jillij version 14” and then below that it
   says “Sunday, July 6th, 2008”
 * I want to remove “Sunday, July 6th, 2008”
 * Thank you for helping me.

 * Are you saying I should paste the code for the entire theme? Or just for archive.
   php?

 * Yes, just the archive.php if that is the template that is displaying the view
   you want to change. See [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   to confirm.

 * Michael, it works! Thank you.
 * Can I ask one more question?
 * You will notice that this theme has a drop-down menu. I would like the menu to
   be at the top of the photo, rather than at the bottom. Can you help me change
   that?
