Getting rid of the date at top of page

you can use css and hide it by setting their classes/id’s to display: none; or you can get all codey and create a template that doesn’t have them in it and apply that to your content.

css is probably the easier of the two though!

Thanks for responding Jack Randall, but how do I set the classes/id’s to say none? I know nothing about this type of stuff.

Thanks

The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

Then to edit this editor is fantastic. You can edit multiple files at the same time.

And this FTP program is tops in my book.

Wow, I have never in my life been more confused. How can it be this difficult to do this? I don’t even recognize most of these words you guys are using. Thanks for trying to help.

no worries, it’s a bit of a technical issue. can you give us a link to your site so we can narrow down what you need to do?

the site is alwaysannoyed.com. Right below the title is a date with a little clock next to it, and next to that it says “leave a comment”. I just want to remove the date, and put the leave a comment thing at the bottom of the post. Thanks again.

ok, the first thing to do is research setting up a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes.

i can give you the code you need to tweak in the css and the stylesheet of your site but if you do it in the theme as it is and not in a child theme anytime the theme gets updated you lose the changes you made.

once you’ve got a child theme set up in the style.css file add

.site-content .entry-meta
{
display: none;
}

and that should get rid of it.

honestly, if you’re going to use wordpress and you’re likely to want to make changes to it in how it looks and functions then i suggest researching html, css, php and downloading a copy of wordpress and familiarising yourself with where things are located. you don’t have to become a code jockey but a passing familiarity with terms like child theme, ftp, server side and others will make it easier to wade through any overly technical replies you might get to what seems like a simple issue. wordpress is great but it’s simplicity of use is underpinned by a massive amount of code and technical wizardry ??

Travis, I gave you those links so you can learn how to do this stuff yourself. If you have Mozilla you can use firebug to figure out how to change your css. It’s pretty easy once you play with it. You can find youtube vids on firebug also. In fact just about all browsers have developer tools that pretty much work the same way.
To Jack Randall, Yes Notepad++ is windows based, what is your point? It is an excellent tool.
