 * I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the hyperlink that is embeded in“
   Posted on” every time a post is created.
 * Example: Posted on **November 18, 2013** (the date is turned into a hyperlink.
 * I am using the theme Vantage Premium. I went to the themes site for support and
   they informed me that this is not a configuration in their them, but something
   that would have to be changed in the Word Press files. Would anyone know how 
   to do this? I have found older post about this, but with the new version of wordpress,
   I am finding them to be dated.
 * Thanks,
 * -Tokyo20

 * _Date turned into hyperlink _is handled by your theme. I suppose you should look
   through single.php and change the part where the date is handled.

 * I just looked around (single.php) as you suggested and turned up with nothing.
   However, I found the following in (content-single.php). How would I remove the
   link from the following code?
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Displays
        *
        * @package vantage
        * @since vantage 1.0
        * @license GPL 2.0
        */
       ?>
   
       <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('post'); ?>>

       		<?php do_action('vantage_entry_main_top') ?>
   
       		<header class="entry-header">
   
       			<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() && siteorigin_setting('blog_featured_image') ): ?>
       				<div class="entry-thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-1') ? 'post-thumbnail' : 'vantage-thumbnail-no-sidebar' ) ?></div>

       			<?php if ( get_post_type() == 'post' ) : ?>
       				<div class="entry-meta">
       					<?php vantage_posted_on(); ?>
       				</div><!-- .entry-meta -->

 * Hey All,
 * Im trying to remove/disable the hyperlink that is embedded with the “Posted on{
   date}”.
 * Theme: Vantage Premium (I was trying to do the same in the free one as well)
 * WP: 3.7.1
 * Steps Taken: E-mailed the theme designer and he informed me that what I am trying
   to do is a WP modification and not something that he can answer with his theme.
   I have searched across the forums and Google with no luck. I have even tried 
   to edit strings of code myself to see if I could resolve this with no luck.
 * If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate
   it.
 * Here is a link to my page so you can see what I am talking about: [http://wcscience.com/wordpress/ap-biology](http://wcscience.com/wordpress/ap-biology)
 * Thank-you,
 * -Tokyo20

 * Enter this to your child theme or custom css to remove the data completely
 *     ```
       .entry-meta {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
