    At the top of my posting page, under Title, WordPress inserts a statement “Posted + date”… I want to delete, hide, or move this statement. It is irrelevant to my page. How do I do this???

    Thanks.

  • Chances are that this is set by your theme, which controls the layout and what’s visible on your blog.

    You can remove this by editing/removing the php code on the relevant page.

    On what page exactly does the “Posted + Date” show up when you? i.e. the page where you read a single blog page, when you view the front blog page, etc.

    Also, if you are going to edit theme files, it would be worth looking into creating a child theme, because otherwise your change may be undone when an update is released for your theme.

    Hi Florian,

    Thanks!

    The “posted + date” only appears on the front blog page, i.e., the home page (which I have re-labelled as “Books”)…as shown on https://www.peterdshapiro.com.

    Not sure how to find the relevant php code. It’s not visible in the Text for this page. Seems to be inserted separately by the Theme and/or WordPress.

    How would I edit the Theme file to hide this? (Theme is Twenty Eleven)

    Best,

    Peter

    Easiest quick solution would be to do the following:

    Log into you admin panel, then go to Appearance > Editor.

    From the drop-down menu on the top right corner, make sure that ‘Twenty Eleven’ is selected.

    Scroll down and select Stylesheet (style.css) from the file list that runs down along the right side of the page.

    Then search the loaded page for the following:

    .entry-meta {
    color: #666;
    clear: both;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
    }

    And replace that with:

    .entry-meta {
    color: #666;
    clear: both;
    font-size: 0px;
    line-height: 0px;
    visibility: hidden;
    }

    Finally, press on ‘Update File.’

    You may need to refresh the home page a few times before it loads the updated version.

    Let me know if this works – it should ??

    Best,
