 * Hello,
 * I’d like to keep the date of publishing but remove the link attached to it. This
   goes for both the link that appears on a post’s preview and the post page itself.
   Is there any way to remove these links?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@karakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karakar/),
 * A relatively simple (but also pretty ugly) workaround would be to set those elements
   to `pointer-events: none;` in CSS, which will disable the link in most browsers.
 * Go to Appearance → Customize → Additional CSS (the menu labels might be different
   in your language) and add the code below:
 * `.post-date a { pointer-events: none; }`
 * Let me know if that does it.

 * Hi Anders,
 * Yes, that did the trick. Thank you so much for your help!
