My favorite theme to use is the plane-jane 20-10 theme. Does it allow me to remove blog post dates?




Thanks,
JD

    If you're using Wordpress, then there are plug-ins that are made for that purpose.

      From the link you provided, here is the code: Is the text red what I should delete?

      if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyten_posted_on' ) ) :
      /**
      * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post—date/time and author.
      *
      * @since Twenty Ten 1.0

      function twentyten_posted_on() {

      People that are clueless about WP and the 2010 theme... why are posting misleading advice??
      Show me the "date code" below!

      Code:
      <?php
/**
 * The Template for displaying all single posts.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Ten
 * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
 */

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="container">
			<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php
			/* Run the loop to output the post.
			 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
			 * called loop-single.php and that will be used instead.
			 */
			get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' );
			?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #container -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

          I have plenty of clues - #1, you didn't read the thread. #2, knowing the URL of the site is useless as all of the information necessary to provide an answer was given in the first and subsequent posts. #3, Istvan posted a link to the answer the day before you chimed in with your useless post.

            First I would like to apologize for my words.

            what i wanted to say is that instead of editing the php code of the theme it is much easier to hide elements using css.

            I wanted the link so that i could find the exact css class and provide necessary changes.

              For my part, I didn't mean to come off as snarky. Actually, I did. I've been building up a such head of steam all morning reading all of the asinine idiotic posts in the help threads like, "PM me, I can fix" that I probably reacted a little strongly.

              Your CSS suggestion would work. It's better, though, if you're going to mess with theme files anyway, to just remove or disable the offending code and be done with it.

              Just as an aside, you still wouldn't need the website address (most marketers are a little touchy about giving out URLs), just look at a copy of Twenty-Eleven to find the selectors needed to hide the container.

                Yes you are correct I could have looked for the CSS on my localhost itself but I reacted like a lazy person. So just went ahead and asked for the URL instead.
                Next time i will be finding the CSS myself for the basic themes.

                And also css is the beat way, if we edit the PHP and later on we want to revert back to the original it would be difficult, so that's why the CSS trick.

        I am new to the forum and i dont think asking for a link is CRIME. I just want to help, I did setup on my localhost and here is the code that you need to replace.

        First go to the appearance => editor
        the style.css file will open
        find this bit of code

        Code:
        .entry-meta {
color: #888;
font-size: 12px;
}
        Replace it with

        Code:
        .entry-meta {
color: #888;
font-size: 12px;
display: none;
}
        you see that i added display:none; to the code, this removes the container, if you want the container back in future, just remove that part.

        I hope that helped, i was just being lazy so thats why i asked for the url for your site.

    1) Go to "Appearance > Editor" and open the file "loop-single.php" from the right sidebar listing of files.

    2) Scroll down a bit until you find this code branch:

    Code:
    <div class="entry-meta">
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
    3) Place two forward slashes in front of the 2nd line like so:

    Code:
    <div class="entry-meta">
<?php //twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
    4) Save the file
