Apostrophe theme: Change Date To Display Text
-
Hello!
In the Apostrophe theme homepage / blog summary. There’s a little box in front of featured image that contains the date the blog is posted. How can I change it to display text?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi rlynlegaspi.
CSS means Cascade Style Sheets, and you can use them to modify the presentation (style) of the webpage, not to change content. I mean the kind of things you could do with this box is to hide it, change background, text color… But definitively not to change what it is inside. (There could be an exception in case you would always like to put the same text: tell us if your want to do that…)
In other case, you would need to modify php files and this can not be done in WordPress.com blogs (You would need a wordpress.org installation).
I hope this helps.

Oooh yes I want to delete the box, hide it on every post. Is that possible? Could you help me?
I want to delete the date on all my posts on my website. I also use Apostrophe-theme…
help! :)foodloverkim.wordpress.com (under construction, as you can tell!)

@rlynlegaspi, go to Settings > General in your dashboard and there is a section on date format where you can select the format you want. Give that a try and see if it works. Not all themes honor those settings.

@kimdesmit, the following would hide the date on all pages that use the grid format.
.archive article .entry-meta, .blog article .entry-meta, .search article .entry-meta { display: none; } -
@thesacredpath, I feel stupid but I’m having trouble finding where in the css (I assume) I change the color of the date box (as @rlynlegaspi has done on her blog linked above). Using apostrophe theme on self-hosted site. Thanks!

@xensen, for self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking in the volunteer-based WordPress.org Themes and Templates forum. Tag your post with wpcom-theme and one of the volunteers or staff will answer your questions on Apostrophe.
If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten. You then simply add the CSS code for the change you wish to make.

I use the apostrophe theme and I need the little blue box and the text that is the title of our article to not be blue. It doesn’t match our logo. How can I change this? I want to keep the little box saying how old the article is, but I want it to match our logo by being the #CC3333-same with the title.

Hi thesearethetimesnews
Could you please supply a link to the website you need help with.

Add the following custom CSS.
.entry-meta { background: #CC3333; } .blog .entry-title a { color: #CC3333; }Select Appearance > Customize > CSS from your Admin Dashboard and enter the custom CSS there.
