 * I´m the guy behind the swedish [http://www.demalt.info](http://www.demalt.info)
   
   I would like to know how to get rid of the “th” after my date. Today it says “
   februari 28th, 2007” under one of my posts. How do I take away the th after the
   number? I would be hapy with just the number.
 * Cheers

 * in php date() function
 * S = English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters st, nd, rd 
   or th.
 * so find that date(‘s’)(here function is
    => the_time(‘F jS, Y’); ) function and
   remove s from it. :-}

 * …excuse me for this extremly stupid question but where do I find this? On the
   wp-content/themes/default/style.css or do I need to download a plugin of some
   sort?

 * Check your index.php (the one in wp-content/themes/*template-name*/index.php,
   not the one in root) for something like this:`<?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>` or`
   <?php the_date('F jS, Y') ?>`
    Take out the capital S.
 * Or you can use `<?php the_date() ?>` and it will be settable by using the Admin
   panel “Options” -> “General” -> “Date and time” section -> “Default date format”
   form field

 * I don´t know what to do really. The only thing that is written in my index php
   file is:
 * <?php
    /* Short and sweet */ define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true); require(‘./wp-blog-
   header.php’); ?>

 * the simple thing is search this text _the\_time(‘F jS, Y’)_ in all your file 
   and just remove _s_.
