    Does it remove date from category / archive pages?

    I figure it must but can’t figure out how. So far I only see it removing on single post. But people won’t go to the single to begin with if they see it’s 6 years old.

    when I inspect element it says : time.entry-date
    And I like the idea of your plugin rather then just doing display none on all dates. Because a lot of post are w/in last 6 months. Thank you

    Thanks for reaching out here.

    As I mention in the FAQ, my plugin doesn’t remove the date from category or archive pages. I tried to implement that, and it was the WordPress equivalent of picking up a half-rotten log in the woods: way more bugs than before. ??

    The problem is that there is no (stated or assumed) standard on how themes identify which date to use on categories and archive pages. Some use the date of the first post in that category, some use the last post in that category. So my plugin either removes all or none. So, even if I were to be able to remove them, category and archive pages only give out one date, so all the dates on that category page would be removed or none of them.

    That’s the long version.

    The short version is that you could wholesale remove the date from those pages using by modifying theme files. There’s not going to be an elegant solution to remove the dates from just some posts on archive pages, at least that uses the post date as the deciding factor.

    My plugin is designed to help posts that are reached via search.

    Thanks for reaching out!
