Remove date on pages and posts
 

I'm trying to remove pages on posts and pages on the Montezuma Theme (1.1.3).

I'm not too savvy with code, but I really like the theme and am trying to figure out how to remove the date.

Can anyone help?
Please...thanks!

look thru the theme options

Hi,

Can you please be a bit more specific. I have and I can't seem to find anything.

In the theme option look at the postformat.php in "Sub Templates".

Ah, I see it. Can you tell me exactly what code I am supposed to remove?

Thanks so much for your help!

This is what i see:
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class( 'cf' ); ?>>

<h2>
<span class="post-format"></span>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php bfa_comments_popup_link( '0', '1', '%' ); ?>
</h2>

<?php bfa_thumb( 620, 180, true, '<div class="thumb-shadow"><div class="post-thumb">', '</div></div>' ); ?>

<div class="post-bodycopy cf">

<div class="post-date">
<p class="post-month"><?php the_time( 'M' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-day"><?php the_time( 'j' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-year"><?php the_time( 'Y' ); ?></p>
</div>

<?php bfa_excerpt( 55, ' ...' ); ?>

</div>

<div class="post-footer">
<a class="post-readmore" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php _e( 'read more &rarr;', 'montezuma' ); ?></a>
<p class="post-categories"><?php the_category( ' &middot; ' ); ?></p>
<?php the_tags( '<p class="post-tags">', '', '</p>' ); ?>
</div>

</div>

take a look of that code and tell me what part you think has to do with the date.

So I removed:

<div class="post-date">
<p class="post-month"><?php the_time( 'M' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-day"><?php the_time( 'j' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-year"><?php the_time( 'Y' ); ?></p>
</div>

and it didn't work. I then went back in and did something wrong and had to access my database to restore wordpress (thanks to youtube video).

Did I take out too much? Not enough?

that is exactly the code you should have taken out. (good job, pat your self on the back)

What did you do that was wrong causing you to need a db restore?

What is the url?
did you have a caching plugin active?

Sorry for getting into the conversation but this topic proved to be very helpful to me. I had also a problem with a cashing plugin and every time I was making changes I had to log out and login again in order to take effect.

What I would like to do is remove the date in the beginning of the article but put it in the end. In the beginning my code was like this

<div class="post-bodycopy cf">

<div class="post-date">
<p class="post-month"><?php the_time( 'M' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-day"><?php the_time( 'j' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-year"><?php the_time( 'Y' ); ?></p>
</div>

<?php bfa_excerpt( 55, ' ...' ); ?>

</div>

<div class="post-footer">
<a class="post-readmore" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php _e( 'read more &rarr;', 'montezuma' ); ?></a>
<p class="post-categories"><?php the_category( ' &middot; ' ); ?></p>
<?php the_tags( '<p class="post-tags">', '', '</p>' ); ?>
</div>


Should I do it like this? Or else where should I put the date text?

</div>


<div class="post-bodycopy cf">

<?php bfa_excerpt( 55, ' ...' ); ?>

</div>

<div class="post-date">
<p class="post-month"><?php the_time( 'M' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-day"><?php the_time( 'j' ); ?></p>
<p class="post-year"><?php the_time( 'Y' ); ?></p>
</div>

<div class="post-footer">
<a class="post-readmore" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php _e( 'read more &rarr;', 'montezuma' ); ?></a>
<p class="post-categories"><?php the_category( ' &middot; ' ); ?></p>
<?php the_tags( '<p class="post-tags">', '', '</p>' ); ?>
</div>

</div>


Thanks a lot

why don't you try it and report back?

But this way I noticed that we can remove the date from the articles on main page and not in the article. What I am interested to do is put the date inside the article at the end of it.

the 'index.php' is used when looking at a multi post page. The 'single.php' is used when looking at a single post page.

Thanks a lot once again for your quick replies. The thing is that I still do not know how I can put the date of the post in the end of it.

ok you have to understand how the WordPress hierarchy works and how this relates to Montezuma.

on a multi post page, index.php is run and it calls postformat.php
when a single post is displayed, it calls single.php
when a page is displayed, it calls page.php

so if you want to change the location for single posts and pages, you have to modify both single.php and page.php.

I hope this helps, now play with things, move some code around and remember is you really mess a template up, you can always press the button to reset that template (don't accidentally press the 'Reset all' button because that will reset everything.
