How to Hide Post Date in WordPress
The WordPress content management system, or CMS, is used primarily to power blogs and other time-based websites in which posts are displayed in reverse chronological order. But WordPress is such a versatile CMS that it is often used to power non-blog websites that feature unchanging content. By default, posts made through WordPress will include the date and time of publication. This information can be hidden using the appearance editor found in the WordPress administrative panel.
