[Theme: Codium Extend] How to turn off time stamp but keep the date

Hi,

My site is at: https://markblower.com/blog

I’d really like to turn off the time stamp but keep the date. I can do this in dashboard/general settings by setting the time to custom, deleting what’s there and saving changes but this leaves a trailing “-“.

I found this in Categories.php

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
				<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('Permalink to %s', 'codium_extend'), esc_html(get_the_title(), 1)) ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
				<div class="entry-date"><?php unset($previousday); printf(__('%1$s – %2$s', 'codium_extend'), the_date('', '', '', false), get_the_time()) ?></div>

Any help would be much appreciated,

Mark
