Word Press: Remove Date on Posts
To remove the date on a post in Word Press you just need to comment out the right snippet of code. I used a plug in for FireFox called FireBug to right click and “Inspect Element”. By looking at the highlighted code I could see which style is being applied to the date.
In the Word Press “Edit Themes” page I selected the “Main Page Template” hit command (or control for PC users) + F to search the template for the “details1″ style that is applied to the date.
After locating the style I found the code snippet that generates the date and commented it out with the opening tag ““.
This only removes the date from the posts on the blog page. When you click on a title it takes you the the “Single Post” page. If you want to remove the date there you will have to edit the “Single Post” page in the “Edit Themes” editor as well.

Thank you for both fixing the site and posting this tutorial; I actually looked at the firebug plug and decided I am not nerdy enough….
Blessings to you, Connie, William, and James…………and to all you touch and all that touch you!!!

David, Fess said you’d been able to turn off the date-on-the-posts coding – wow, really COOL. Thank you for being so helpful – this gives us more flexibility as to how and when we display photos of teeth on the website.
