  Date shows twice in the tags between tittle and article. This happens when I edit the article. I want the post date to show, I do not want the edit date to show. I am using SuperAds theme. Here is a sample I copied from my blog. November 8 was the original post date while November 9 was the edit date.

  Looks like you just need to add a bit of code to the functions.php file.

  Thank you it worked, for anyone with the same problem, if you wish to show post date only (like in my case), add this to your functions.php

  `function jl_remove_post_dates() {
  /*add_filter(‘the_date’, ‘__return_false’);*/
  /*add_filter(‘the_time’, ‘__return_false’);*/
  add_filter(‘the_modified_date’, ‘__return_false’);
  /*add_filter(‘get_the_date’, ‘__return_false’);*/
  /*add_filter(‘get_the_time’, ‘__return_false’);*/
  add_filter(‘get_the_modified_date’, ‘__return_false’);
  } add_action(‘loop_start’, ‘jl_remove_post_dates’);

  Note I commented out the date and time so that I can have them in the post. My problem was date appearing twice.
