    Hi, I also seem to be having a problem with dates still showing, I have your plugin installed and days set to 1 but all dates are still showing.

    My site is at https://www.archwaytheatre.com/archwaytheatre

    Would appreciate your help. I don’t have any caching plugins running.
    Thanks

    Hey Archwaytheatre, can you start your own support thread? That will keep these folks from being sent an email every time I respond to you. Also, it will help me to keep the threads separate.

    Please respond (in that new thread) to this question, while I go poke around your site:

    Are you running any caching plugins or software?

    Thanks!

    Ben

    Hey.

    So your theme does not put the date in a span or div that makes it hideable. That’s the bad news.

    The good news is that one swap of code in your theme’s single.php file will fix you up.

    That file is located at /wp-content/themes/hueman/single.php

    You should modify line 14, wrapping the date call in a span with the class “post-date”
    The copy/pasteable new line 14 is:

    <p class="post-byline"><?php _e('by','hueman'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> <span class="post-date"> &middot; <?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></span></p>

    Never update php files from within the WordPress admin dashboard, because if you break something you can’t get it back. Always use FTP, SSH, or some other means.

    I just tested this new line of code in my development environment, and it worked for me. Let me know if you need additional help.

    Thanks for reaching out. If I fix it for you, don’t be scared of the donate button! ??

    Thank you, that worked perfectly.

    Great!

    Be aware that if you update your theme, that change you just made will be overwritten. So, keep that modification handy, and if you update the theme, just pop back in there and make the changes again.

    If you want to be update proof, you could set up a child theme with just a single.php file. But that’s a lot of work for just this one simple change.

    Have a great day!
