Date is clickable

    I just noticed the Date on all post/article pages is clickable and linking to the post/article page itself. I searched online but couldn’t find any site talking about any SEO or otherwise benefit for that. I also checked other big news websites, like CNN, FOX News, AP News, etc, and saw they also don’t have their posts/articles’ dates clickable/linked to the same article or to any other page.

    How can I make the date on my post pages unclickable/unhyperlinked?

    HI @mynewprojectnews

    Thanks for reaching us.

    The date is made clickable in posts/articles in wordpress themes, so that it redirects to a date-based archive page.

    You can apply the following CSS to remove the click functionality from the date :

    .cm-post-date a{
    pointer-events: none;
    }

    Let me konw if it works for you or not, and I’ll get back to you.

    Regards!
