**avit** · 01-09-2009

Hi,

How do I remove the date from Wordpress posts, not just the pages? I am busy searched the forums but did not find anything that deals with this. I have Goggled this topic but cant seem to find any consistent answers. Help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Backup your theme files and then use this code :

Code:

<?php the_date(); ?>

or this:

Code:

<?php the_time(); ?>

Most people want dates in your blog, and you will be amazed at how many want the travel time is also shown. Few people come to these forums saying "I hate to date on my blog, why do that, stupid." To do so, go into the Theme Editor and select the single.php and Main Index templates and take out this code:

Code:

    < ?php the_time('F j, Y'); ? >

Date Exclusion Plugin

This Wordpress plugin gives the user complete control over where and when the timestamp will be displayed. You can exclude them from all posts by default or only on posts older than a few weeks or months. You can also exclude or include dates on a post-by-post level through Wordpress’ custom field feature.

Installation

1. Download and unzip the plugin file
2. Upload the date-exclusion.php file to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Log into your WordPress control panel, click the “Plugins” tab, and click “Activate” next to the Date Exclusion plugin
