How do you remove dates from blog posts?

[Snazzy]

Thank you for your help.

@Snazzy It's not possible to remove the blog date, from the blog post. However if you are familiar with custom code, you can add a bit of CSS code to the Header Code section that would hide it from your published site. 

To hide it on any blog page, you can add it to the Settings > SEO > Header Code section. 

To hide it on an individual blog page, you can add the code to the Pages tab > The Blog Page > Advanced > Header Code section.

While I could provide this code for you, there could be other changes that you would need/want to make, that would allow the comments section, that is next to the blog date, appear properly. So it would be best to see your site first, to make sure that everything is going to work correctly.

If you need assistance in making these changes, you are welcome to submit a request here: https://www.jeffreytkastner.com/service-request.html

Hey @PremekP! I fixed the date for you, though in the future you can do this by opening your post in the desktop editor, clicking on the date, and choosing the date that you want.  Once done just click on "update" and it will correct it on the live site.

hi Jeffrey, what is the code i would use in the SEO Header section to remove dates from published blogs, thanks

[Weeblers]

Hi,

I know this thread is a bit older but anyway...

If you want the blog date to be invisible you could add some very basic Css that will make the blog date transparent, this way your existing layout can't get messed up or other. (not that it should actually)

<style type="text/css">
.blog-date {
   color: transparent!important;
}
</style>

You could add this code inside the Header Code Box that can be found back by accessing your:

SETTINGS > SEO > Header Code

Hope this can help someone.

Thank you. Thie insertion of code in the header in SEO section did help me. Will review for some more time and let you know.

Thank you again.

This did not work for me.

I would like to delete the date.

I read that i can schedule posts to post at a later date.  I do not see that option available in blog settings.  Is that because i already "posted?"  My site is not currently published, however, I did publish it long enough to see that after inserting the code and saving it, the date was still there.

Thank you

Thank you for addressing this question, because I have the same desire to hide the blog posting date from my blog. I did try inserting the code you provided both in the overall settings and on the page SEO setting, but neither did the trick.  Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I put it in the blog post header code section and that took it off the individual posts.  I'm still trying to figure out how to make the post dates transparent on the home page.

[maureenmattia]

I would love to hide the blog dates in my website also. I copied and pasted the code provided in your explanation, but still the blog date is showing up in my website:  www.editdash.com

Would you have further instructions to help me with this?

[leigh2]

thank you ! the code did work for one of my sites, but why it did not work the other one-----both siets are sub sites.

thanks

This is a year later, but I wanted to tell you thank you! This worked, and it was extremely easy to do. 

[Ecare]

how did you remove blog post dates? could you tell me? i dont know html. so i hope i dont mess my blog, thank you so much for info!

[Adam7]

Have you tried using the code mentioned earlier in the post, @Ecare?

[Ecare]

hi Adam, not yet, i did chat yesterday customer service and they told me if i mess my blog they are not responsible so i am worried that i may mess my blog, i don't know anything about html or codes, but i really want to remove dates and posting with out dates always, i need help!!!

[Adam7]

If you use @Weeblers's solution you don't actually need to customize your theme - the code they provided is just pasted into Settings > SEO > Header Code.

[Ecare]

i did, thank you Adam.
