  Hi,

  I recently migrated to the Twenty Sixteen Theme and the code I was using to suppress the post date on my previous theme no longer works. This was what I was using:

  .site-main .entry-meta time.entry-date.published {
  Display: None;

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

  Hi there, CSS is generally theme specific, so what works in one theme will typically not work in another, For Twenty Sixteen, add the following CSS to hide the date on posts.

  .entry-footer .posted-on {
      display: none !important;
  }

  This might sound like a dumb question, but where exactly do I put this code in the post to remove the date? I’ve tried putting it in the Visual and the HTML tabs, and neither seem to work. Very very new at this.

  Thanks.

  @cmadnani, you would need the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade which includes Custom Design and the ability to add custom CSS.

  You can try out and preview custom CSS before you buy as explained here.
