 * Hi,
 * I am trying to remove the dates on the posts on loveandrespectnow.com. I set 
   the date to 1 days, which should then remove the date from all posts as the most
   recent post date was in 2014. I am using WordPress version 4.5. Is this page 
   technically a “blog archive” as you’ve stated in previous posts?
 * Thanks,
    Sydney

 * Hi Sydney,
 * The home page is what WordPress calls an “archive.” My plugin removes the date
   from single pages and posts. So this post (the most recent) would have the date
   removed: [http://loveandrespectnow.com/2014/12/from-my-heart/](http://loveandrespectnow.com/2014/12/from-my-heart/)
   while the home page would not have the dates removed: [http://loveandrespectnow.com](http://loveandrespectnow.com)
 * And if you look at the source code on that single page above (right click and“
   view page source” or something like that) you can see that on line 2001, there
   is a call for my plugin’s stylesheet.
 * Stick with me, I’m getting to the point.
 * The fact that the stylesheet is being called is good, and means that the plugin
   _can_ work on your site. But the theme (it looks like Starkers or a Starkers 
   child theme) is not putting the date inside of something to make it hideable.
 * That is a bit advanced, but basically you modify the theme files (I recommend
   using a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)) and put the 
   date into a div or span with the class “date” or similar.
 * I’m happy to help with that, but it falls outside of the scope of free support
   for my plugin. If you need that type of support, I can get you a quote by filling
   out the contact form at [my website](https://www.wpsteward.com/contact/).
