Hi warriors

Can any help me at all on this please

I am just in the process of helping someone out. They have an offline business and want a website just to show what they can do and people can contact them.

Ive set this up as a WP blog so they can easily add or take things off

However obviously being a blog the homepage is structured to have posts.

How do I remove this stuff so I can just add text and images to the homepage and not have posts ?

Im sure Ive seen people do it ??

Any advice will be awesome

Thankyou !!

Dean

    Hi Dean,

    You can take a look at your theme in WP-CONTENT >> Themes >> Your theme. Then look up the files that make up your home page or sidebar ... Usually an index.php page or sidebar.php or even header.php or footer.php. Where ever the date is kept.

    Then remove the reference to the date in that file and upload. Make sure to name the old file "file_old.php" on the server, while you download it to edit. Then upload "file.php" (giving the old name). IF there is a problem in the process, just change "file_old.php to the original name wiping ou the edited file.

    Keep in mind the via the WP ADMIN you can set any page --daily posts or PAGES to show up as the main page a visitor sees.

    Then you should see the date dissappear.
    Success,
    Sam

      yes! in order to remove the dates from posts you are going to have to play with a little PHP. For most themes there are going to be 2 files that you will need to work with: index.php and single.php

      the code to look for will be something like this:
      Code:
      <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
      you can remove it by simple commenting it out like so:
      Code:
      <!-- <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> -->
