Modifying an existing template

  • I am using a template that I bought this week. I know very little about code which is why I use wordpress. I do not need the site to be a blog, just a straight forward website. The way the template is designed is that it uses blog posts that connect to web pages internally. So what I want to do is delete: The date; blog name; and the tags entry where it displays the time the post was made.
    It seems that I will have to go into some of the code to do this so if anyone could guide me specifically it would be much appreciated.

  • what is the template that you purchased? If you could post a link to it that would be great!

    You don’t need to actually delete anything. You can just set up Pages for all of the pages you want to have in your site. Then under Settings > Reading Settings, set the front page to display a static page (one of the Pages you created).

    I can’t setup pages only for this site because of the way the template is designed. It’s a mixture of posts and pages so ultimately I will in fact have to have posts in the site.
    The front page is already set up as a static page.

    It looks like the site is setup as regular WordPress Pages. I don’t see any posts, tags, categories, etc, anywhere…

    <?php the_time('f jS, Y'); ?>
<?php the_date('f jS, Y'); ?>
<?php the_tags(); ?>

    the top 2 lines, either one, could control display of date. the bottom line does tags. Yours may look slightly different, but similar

    delete them where you need them gone

    Also, just having no title for your site isn’t ideal. It’s pretty important for SEO. moving it off screen with css is simple, and better for SEO. But I can’t suggest how to remove the title since you don’t have one for me to look at
