    You can hide it with CSS, but Google will still see it. Removing the date meta for a post requires modifying the theme or (better) creating a child theme.

    First thing — contact the developers of your theme to ask them how best to do it.

    So i checked about the solution, and iv’e seen that i need to change something in the “editor” on wordpress, now the problem is that i do not have the “editor” button, this button should be under “appearance” but he’s not exist on my wordpress. and when i tried to solve it on the cpanel, File manager -> public html and the my domain should appear and also my domain does not appear there.
    What can i do ?
    Thanks.

    You should not be directly editing theme files. Create a child theme.

    The edit link under appearance can be disabled by a define in wp-config.php. Check that file for define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );. If it’s there, delete the line or comment it out.

    Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge, but where can i find the wp-config.php ?

    It’s in the root of your website. View/edit it by downloading/uploading via FTP or use the file manager app in your hosting control panel.

    I’ve searched it on the hosting control panel but i didn’t find it.
