  I would like to change the way the date appears in my posts in Expound theme. It comes like “two days ago”, “some time ago”, instead of the explicit date, which I prefer most.
  Is there anyone here who could help me with a CSS code to change that?
  Thanks in advance.

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

  In fact, the explicit date comes at the bottom of the post. If I only could transfer it to the headline, it would be wonderful.

  If possible, I would also like to eliminate the “author” from the post headlines, please.

  Hi @carmattos, to do this would require the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade which includes Custom Design and the abiltity to add custom CSS.

  We can bring back the specific dates as an addition to the relative dates with custom CSS, but we cannot hide the relative dates and get the alignment to be right.

  Hiding the author would also require custom CSS.

  Hi @thesacredpath, I do have Custom Design, but don’t know the code that would let me use the specific date instead of the relative date. And hide the author as well. Could you please provide it here?
  Thanks for your kindness.

  Oops, sorry, didn’t see the Custom Design on your account. Add this to your custom CSS. Due to the way the HTML is structured in Expound, I can’t get rid of the ” / ” before the relative date.

  .entry-header .entry-date span {
  	display: inline !important;
  }
  .entry-header .author {
  	display: none;
  }

  Great, @thesacredpath! It worked very well.
  Taking advantage of your cordiality, I ask you two more things:
  – Would it be possible to get rid of the relative date and keep only the specific date?
  – Could we work the miracle of adding a search form in the navigation bar?
  Thanks once again. And best regards from Rio de Janeiro.

  Sorry, no due to the way that section is structured in the HTML.

  Could we work the miracle of adding a search form in the navigation bar?

  We can move the search widget up into the right end of the menu bar, but we run out of room for it at 940px, so I’ve used a Media Query to have the search widget in the menu bar at 940px and wider. See what you think.

  @media screen and (min-width: 940px) {
  	#page {
  		position: relative;
    }
  	#search-3 {
  		position: absolute;
  		top: 163px;
  		right: 0;
  	}
  }

  I’m sorry. It seemed to work at first, but as I saved the change and reloaded the blog it went back to the former position.

  Hi, it looks like you may have removed the search widget from the sidebar and then added it back in. When you do that, the CSS id number for that search widget changes. In the second part of the code I gave you, change the 3 to a 5.
