You may want to hide the post date on your WordPress website for a variety of reasons, such as if you have evergreen content that you want to appear fresh and relevant, or if you have content that is time-sensitive and no longer relevant.
To hide the post date in WordPress, you can use a variety of methods. Here are three different approaches:
-
Use a Plugin: You can use a plugin like WP Date Remover to hide the post date on your WordPress website. Once you install and activate the plugin, the post date will no longer appear on your posts.
-
Edit your Theme's CSS: If you're comfortable editing your theme's CSS, you can add the following code to your theme's style.css file:
.entry-date { display: none; }
This will hide the post date on your WordPress website.
-
Edit your Theme's Code: If you're comfortable editing your theme's code, you can remove the code that displays the post date in your theme's single.php file. Look for the following code:
<?php the_date(); ?>
And remove it. This will hide the post date on your WordPress website.
It's important to note that removing the post date can have implications for search engine optimization, as search engines use the post date to determine the freshness and relevance of your content. If you decide to hide the post date, make sure to regularly update your content to keep it fresh and relevant.
