    Hi fellow StudioPress users.

    I have a wordpress blog running Genesis with Prose as the child theme.

    I want to hide the date and times of my blog posts and comments.

    I have achieved this by going into the General Settings in wordpress and setting custom dates and times to " " [blank].

    However this still left a small calendar icon next to my posts, and the word "at" next to my blog comments.

    I managed to bet rid of the calendar icon with the following CSS:

    .date.published.time {
    display:none;
    }

    I managed to get rid of the word "at" with the following CSS:

    .comment-meta.commentmetadata {
    display:none;
    }

    I have two small issues I'd still like to resolve:

    Issue 1

    Below the post title I now have:
    "by Clement Lim"

    [It used to say something like: "Published on xxxx by Clement Lim"]

    Is there a way I can capitalise the b, so it says
    "By Clement LIm"

    Issue 2

    My comments section now looks like:

    "Robert says:
    Great post ...."

    There is no space between the comment author and his comment.
    [Before there was a line giving the date and time of the comment which provided a space between the commenter's name and his comment.]

    Can I insert a space, so that the comment now would read:

    "Robert says:

    Great post ...."

    Many thanks. I have very basic programming skills. I know how to add CSS to the custom CSS file in the Genesis menu on WordPress but not much more.

    Clement

    1. You can use code to do that, simply remove the date shortcode from the code. https://gist.github.com/studiopress/5722394#file-customize-php

    2. You can inspect the date, find the class and use display: none in your style sheet.
