Take the date off a page?

    Hi there. I’m brand new to wordpress, and I’m still not sure of what to call certain things, which makes it hard to look them up. Still, I figured I’d shoot my question to you guys and you could help me out??

    I have a layout up, and I’m starting to add some posts and content on the sidebar. My problem is that when I make a page – like for my “about me”, for example – it gives me a date and “no comments” at the bottom, like it’s a post. But I’ve already double- and triple-checked and i’m clicking the “write PAGE” link.

    Here’s what I’m talking about:

    The only thing I want showing up in the “blog” area is the content itself – I don’t want the dates or the “no comment” thing or the RSS link. I’ve checked on the theme maker’s website (https://v4ny.net/) for help, but most of the site isn’t in English.

    Can someone help me out?

  • Save your theme index.php as page.php and edit out the calls for date, comments, category etc.
    More on this at Pages

    Do you have page.php in the theme folder?
    If you don’t, just copy index.php and rename it to page.php
    In index.php, find and delete something like
    the_date() or the_time() and
    comments_popup_link() and
    comments_template()

    Pages, by default, use the same template as used by posts.

    If you want your pages to use a different template, start at the Page Template documentation. Refer, also, to the Template_Hierarchy.

    A good tutorial on how to use page templates can be found here.

    YAY- I got it to work! now i don’t feel so stupid. Thanks, everyone!

    (forgive me, i’m coming from 3 years with blogger – PLUS i have like zero experience with php. just ignore my stupid questions if they’re too… well… stupid.)

    I’m long past the trite, “There are no stupid questions…” but if there weren’t, there would be relatively few new threads. ??

    Even the few questions that aren’t “stupid”are still suspect because most of those are a rehash of older threads that would have been found with a search of the site.

    Bottom line, no worries.
