    not 100% sure it works with the latest version, but... it is still active.

    I have never used it... I just did a Google search for you. :/

    To be perfectly honest with you I would not use a plugin to do this. You should minimize the amount of plugins you use as they all add unnecessary load time to a page.

    It would take someone efficient in Wordpress probably 1 minute to remove the post date function from your theme -- it's not difficult to do but it all depends on what theme you are using.

    I would just find someone who can go into the theme template and remove it for you. A plugin for something simple like this would be overkill.

      I wouldn't use a plugin either. But the amount of time added to a site's loading time using the plugin suggested by jrimshot would be negligible. Most of the blogs I see warriors using should be cached anyways so they shouldn't be hitting the PHP interpretor at all once the page has been generated.

      Also, it's probably best that noobs or technologically incompetents, or whatever, don't mess with, or have somebody else mess with, their template. I'd go with the plugin suggested by jrimshot. Benchmark that, and I'll bet you'll see close to no loss of page generation speed.

    If you're using a popular theme you should be able to search Google for "theme name remove post date" and find which line of code to remove. It's usually very simple.

    If you're trying to remove it from the blog roll, just open the loop.php file in your wp-content/themes/(selected theme) directory, scroll to the bottom, and look for instances of:
    <?php the_post_date(); ?> and change it to <?php //the_post_date(); ?>

    Same deal if you want to change it in the actual post page. Just open the single.php file and search/change the same line. Message me if you have any questions.

    It would be better to modify the theme ( best to to it by creating a child theme) and remove the references as mentioned previously. Many themes will include boilerplate captions for Date and/or time entries that need to be removed as well and this can be handled at the same time.
