  Hi,

  The code below will remove the published date from all your posts:

  .post .entry-meta {
      display: none;
  }

  If you are new to working with custom CSS, make sure to check out this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  Hi,

  Thank you for your reply.

  I have had a look at the link on custom CSS, unfortunately it only applies to wordpress.com Premium/Business not the basic wordpress.com account (which I am after).

  Guess my option is either go for a hosting or Premium/Business or make do with the published date.

  Thanks again for the info and confirming my doubt.

  @wellingtonbadmintonuk, to hide the date on posts would require custom CSS, which would require the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade. There is no way to hide the date without custom CSS.

  Hello there,
  Can someone confirm for me whether this code will also remove the date from posts appearing on the home page?

  I installed the Remove Old Post Date plugin, only to find that it removes the date from the post page, but not when the post(s) appears with others on the home page.

  To clarify, what I want to achieve is no date appearing on evergreen posts I rotate on the home page.

  Thanks in advance for any help..

  @weatherupblog — I don’t know which site you’re working on, but if you’ve installed a plugin, it’s not a WordPress.com site, so the directions you see here won’t necessarily work on your site.

  For self-hosted WordPress sites (which allow plugin installs), you’ll have more luck getting help that will work for your site over on the WordPress.org forums: https://wordpress.org/support/.

  When you post there, be sure to include a link to your site and detailed description of what you’d like to do. :)

  Thank you for all your response.

  I have found the way to do it that is instead of using “blog posts”, use “pages”. No need any coding.
