Remove Info From Posts

    I am using the Preference Lite theme for one of my blogs. I would like to remove the date from the top of posts and would like to remove the “Last Modified” date at the bottom of posts. How do I do this? I tried downloading the WP Date Remover plug-in and it works (sort of). It removed the actual date at the beginning of the posts, however the word “Date:” still appears even though the date does not. It did not remove the date from the “Last Modified” line at the bottom of posts.

    I tried playing with the CSS yesterday and wound up accidentally screwing things up and had to uninstall and reinstall the theme as a result, so if you give me instructions on what CSS to delete or alter, please provide me with baby-step instructions because I’m not very confident in my CSS altering abilities yet. ??

    Were you looking to remove the complete group of date, author, category, etc? As for the Modified date part, if you want that group removed, you would add some css to the theme like this:

    .entry-footer {display: none;}

    The other method would be to open the theme’s content-single.php file and remove this line:

    <?php the_modified_date( 'F j, Y', __( '<span class="modified-date">Last Modified: </span> ', 'preference') ); ?>

    Note: Also read up on why doing this kind of change should be done with a child theme (which is included in a child-theme folder in the theme).

    I would like to keep the Author line. I am ambivalent about whether I want to keep the category. I mostly am just interested in removing all references to dates on posts so that it is not readily obvious to new visitors if I go a couple weeks without posting something new; and I don’t want to take a hit with search engines either.
