Adding date to posts (removed previously)

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if someone can help me. I’m trying to add the date to my posts. It was previously there along with the category and author but I used the code

    .entry-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    On reflection, I now want to add just the date but I have no idea how to do this.

    I’m not experienced with code so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The date is under the entry meta, so the first step would be to remove that display: none; you added.

    Are there specific parts of the entry meta you’d like to hide?

    Thanks Macmanx

    When a post is published, it used to show the category, author and date. I would want to hide the category and author, but keep the date.

    I have literally no experience with code. Can you advise on what I can put in to get the date back? At the moment, for posts it says ‘posted on’ but because I removed everything, it doesn’t show anything after that.

    Thanks.

    Let’s start with removing:

    .entry-meta {
display: none;
}

    Once that’s removed, it will be much clearer to see what we can do about only removing the specific undesired items.

    Thanks. I’ve removed that. It still just says ‘posted on’ but with no date, author or category.

    Hm, ok.
