  I have create a link in the menu that shows the blogging from the very start, as in the oldest or first blog first. However there is a date bar that states the month and year that I would like to remove. Can you help?

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

  Hi chookstar

  If you are referring to the Archives section that appears when you click on the menu button on the right.

  ARCHIVES

  August 2015
  July 2015
  June 2015

  Then the following custom CSS will help.

  Select Appearance > Customize > CSS from your Admin Dashboard and enter the custom CSS there.

  aside#archives-2 {
      display: none;
  }

  Hi, thanks for the response, I tried your suggestion but it didn’t change my problem. What I’m referring to is I made a link in the menu on the LHS so that people can see the blog run from oldest to newest posts. This is the menu option:
  “View Nan & Pop’s travels… right from the very start!! “Tickety Boo”!

  However when you click on it at the head of the first post there is a large bar with “July 2015”. I want to drop all references to dates in the blog.

  @chookstar
  Try:

  .page-header {
        display: none;
  }

  You might be able to make that go away without using CSS, though. At the moment you have a custom link in the menu to display the archive for July 2015. If you create a regular page instead and use the Display Posts shortcode to show the posts you want, the date won’t appear at the top, only whatever title you give that page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  I’m glad it did. Keep in mind that if you create other archive pages in future, like category pages, it will likely hide the header on those as well, so perhaps save my alternative solution above as well somewhere for future reference.
