Hey i don't know how to correct these issues please help me. my website is
www.performer5reviewed.org

1. i want to know how to remove these dates and times under the post title.
if date can't be removed at least the time should be.

2. i also want to remove these tags and category under the post, i should be present only in the sidebar like i have them not under the posts.

3. i want to know how to align the text in the middle of the page, like on this website www.choyung.net

on my site text is align to the left and covering the whole page. text should be in the middle with empty space on both the left and right side.

    The answer to the first two questions is to modify your themes Page Template, which is often called page.php or its single post template, which is usually called post.php or single.php (the actual names will be unique to the theme you are using). Make sure you backup your theme first in case you make an error.

    The third question will involve modifying the themes style sheet, usually called style.css.

    Also edit index.php in your theme folder, to remove the unwanted dates, etc., if you do not want them on the home page.

      Uh don't you mean page.php? The index.php file is the main WordPress file in the root of the site, its not commonly included in the theme (unless its a blank index.php to keep people from browsing the directory).

    No Bill, I mean the index.php file in the theme folder - the theme in this case is Fluid Blue. If you download it, there's an index.php in the theme folder (like in all WordPress themes). In that index.php file is code the OP wants removed. In particular:
    Code:
    <?php the_time(get_option('date_format').', '.get_option('time_format')) ?>
    If you just remove the dates/time from page.php and single.php, they will still appear on the home page, unless removed as I suggested.

    Every theme should have its own index.php inside the theme folder.

    From the Codex:
    At the very minimum, a WordPress Theme consists of two files:
    style.css
    index.php
    Also, it must be present because that's the general "fall-back" file: if specialized template file are not in the theme folder, WP falls back and uses the index for everything... (just check the pre-3.0 "classic" theme!)

    The only exception could be the child themes where you specify the parent theme and templates (including index.php) are used from there.
