Look for something like <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> in your theme files and delete it. Back up first.

  Don't forget you can also backdate those posts, so instead of having no dates at all, they make it look like the blog has existed for a while.
  
  Thanks

Ah, thanks Diana, so it seems it was a bit more than just un-ticking a box somewhere. Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Phil

I've just found you a plugin, but since you have to edit the plugin's php file in order to get it to work it seems a bit pointless to me - you may as well just edit your theme

Here it is anyway, just in case it's any use to you...

I have also installed this plugin. It did remove the date stamp. The issue I found was that it left a small reference.

In my case it just shows under the post title the following
"by Admin on"

Notice the "on" that previously came before the date stamp.

How can I edit this text?

Thanks

Search your theme files for the text and then edit it in notepad and upload again. You're unlikely to go wrong doing this, but back up first just in case. You could take the date code out too while you're at it (mentioned in a previous post on this thread), then you won't even need the plugin.

Diana, you raise a great point. So many people will spend hours looking for and asking about plug-ins that accomplish the same thing as modifying a line or two in the theme files.

By modifying the theme files, you reduce the overhead of loading the page rather than adding it.

Folks, the Wordpress forums (WordPress › Support) are your friends. Lots of really bright people volunteering their expertise (sound familiar?). In many cases, they'll even give you copy and paste code for making your themes behave the way you want them to.
