  Does anyone know how to remove the post dates? The demo doesn’t have them, so I know there’s a way. http://confitdemo.wordpress.com/

  Thank you!

  You will need to purchase an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and do the required CSS editing to remove the date.

  Important note: CSS editing is theme dependent. In some authors, themes, categories and/or tags etc. cannot be hidden independently, as they are in the same selector as the other meta data elements such as date, and perhaps even the “leave a comment” link, which means if you hide one, then you hide them all.

  Thank you! Does anyone know what code will remove the date? I’ve already tried:

  .post-date {
  display: none;
  }

  .post-metadata {
  display: none;
  }

  as well as the instructions here: http://johnlamansky.com/wordpress/remove-post-dates/

  None of them worked!

  Hi there,
  This thread will be moved to the CSS Forum for you.

  P.S. Here’s the stylesheet link > https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/confit/style.css
  Note: When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing.

  Thanks so much, timethief! Now I just need to figure out what code I need to add to override it…

  Hi there – this should do it:

  .entry-meta {
display: none;
}

  I found that by viewing the browser’s source code. You can also try a tool like Firebug.
