Remove The Date From Your WordPress Blog Posts
Why would anyone want to remove the date from their WordPress blog posts anyway? Here are three reasons why:
1. Removing the date from blog posts can make your blog look more like a website rather than a journal which is dated at the top of each post.
2. Maybe you have older articles in your archive. Removing the date would make your posts look fresh to readers coming from the search engines, etc. So in other words, if you have an article that is six months old, people coming from the search engines, etc can read your post without thinking it’s old and outdated. You can remove the date from single posts or all post on your blog.
3. Some blog owners think that removing the date from blog posts can increase the number of comments and linkbacks for the older content. You be the judge.
So how can you remove the date from your posts? You can remove the dates using the Date Exclusion WordPress Plugin or you can do it manually as I’ve mentioned below in this post and shown on video.
If you would like to remove the dates of your post manually, you can do so from your Dashboard, select “Appearance,” and then Editor. On the Theme Editor page select “Main Index templates,” at the right hand side. If you want to remove the dates from single posts, you would have to edit the “Single.php,” on that same Theme Editor page.
Once in the Theme Editor, the next step would be to take out the following code: <?php the_time(__(‘F jS, Y’, ‘kubrick’)) ?>
You are looking for a code that begins with <?php the_time

nice article your suggestion and compliments are valid. Every blogger should read your article and get some ideas
Handy tutorial, thanks for the tips!
WPKnight´s last blog post ..Everything you need for a great 2014 with WordPress
First thing I look for is the date – if not there – I think “why not -what are they hiding?” Things move quickly on the web and some articles are no longer relevant after 3 months or 3 days, or some never lose their relevance. Post the date and leave the relevance decision to the reader.
Greff, I hear ya!
I’m not sure if I agree with this. I like to see the date on posts when I visit a blog.
Yes, some people do and some don’t care. I understand your point.
I’ve been browsing online, but didn’t find any fascinating article like yours. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
Thank you Pancia for your compliment. Much appreciated.
Simply have to say that your article was good. i could assume you’re a professional in this subject. I am grabbing your feed. Thank you 1,000,000.
