 * I did what this [forum post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-or-remove-timedate-stamp)
   said to do but it did not work for me. I have a client who wants me to remove
   the date off posts so readers won’t know how long it goes between posts. Any 
   other suggestions other than the ones mentioned at the link above since it is
   three years old.

 * Can you provide us with a link? The way I would do it is just to hide the date
   via CSS but editing/creating a child theme file is usually an option too.
 * If we had a link we could just see what theme you are talking about.

 * You know what, a team of Virtual Assistants helped me figure out that I had missed
   removing it from index.php in the editor section. I had just done the singlepost.
   php. So you can probably delete this.
 * Thanks so much for your quick response!

   is very easy. All you have to do is open your themes index.php file, and some
   where in that file these is a piece of code which looks like
 * > <?php the_time(); ?>
 * , you can comment or delete this. If you want the complete guide then you can
   visit the link that i have given above. Hope this helps
