  If I use the CSS to remove the post date will it make all my old blog post (60+) have broken links. I have pinged, tweeted and pinned and etc., on all of my post, so will it affect me in a negative way? The blog that I need help on is http://barriersbooksandassociates.com/.

  Hi there,

  Using CSS to remove your post date will not affect your post URLs at all so all of the old URLs will work correctly. This should do the trick!

  span.upper {
  display: none;
  }

  Let me know if you need anything else!

  I have never done CSS before so I want to be sure I am doing this right.

  When I checked my CSS editor it has a few paragraphs already behind the scenes. So, do I delete all the stuff that is already there or do I add the code after all the stuff?

  span.upper {
  display: none;
  }

  So, adding the CSS code will get rid of my “Date Stamp” on my NEW post but not my OLD post, too?

  span.upper {
  display: none;
  }

  I have tried multiple CSS codes but it isn’t removing my “Date Stamp.” Do I have to have to purchase a “CSS Upgrade” to make changes?

  Hi Ellen,

  Please see my answers below:

  Yep! The writing you see there is just default text.

  It will affect all posts on your site.

  The Custom Design upgrade, which allows you to use CSS, is already part of the Premium bundle, so you shouldn’t need to purchase anything else. The current issue is just that your CSS is within comment brackets like this:

  /*
  .span.upper {
  display: none;
  }
  */

  The /* and */ are for notes within CSS but they basically make sure the CSS doesn’t function on the site. Just replace all of that text with the following:

  .span.upper {
  display: none;
  }

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!

  Getting rid of /* and */ seemed to make a difference behind the scenes but its still showing the “Date Stamp.” I have clicked the START FRESH BOX “Don’t use the theme’s original CSS. But it didn’t make a difference. Could it be due to me having the PREPROCESSOR drop box on “None?” Or does it take a few hours for the results to show up???

  I got it working now by getting rid of the (.) liked you stated in your first message to me. And be getting rid of /* and */ that you recommend to me in your last response to me.

  Thanks for the help, jeremeylduvall :)
