 * Hi,
 * I’m searching for a solution for stopping Google to add the published date of
   my blog posts. Is there some way to remove these out of my meta source code?
 * meta property=”article:published_time
    article:modified_time og:updated_time
 * I fix it now with only creating pages instead of posts. But missing so much of
   this great theme if i keep doing that. Hope u have a fix for this.

 * Hi,
    Sorry for the delay. You can remove the posts dates using css. You would
   just paste this into your custom css box in Theme Options > Advanced Settings:
 *     ```
       .postdate {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Does that work for you?
