 * I want to remove the date from my pages. I don’t like it there, but where do 
   I edit. I’ve looked everywhere!

 * Look in index.php and single.php. Edit out all references to `<?php the_date();?
   >`. You may also have to change references to `<?php the_time(); ?>` so that 
   they don’t have any [date formatting strings](http://www.php.net/date) inside
   the parentheses.

 * Doing that will remove the date from my entries too though, won’t it?

 * “I want to remove the date from my pages.”
 * Avenir was going by what you asked for. Now, do you mean pages, or Pages? Or…
   some other sort of pages. In other words, where *exactly* do you not want the
   date and/or time to appear?

 * I would like to know this also. I believe the author means they would like to
   remove the date only from the CONTENT pages. The ones that aren’t actually blog
   posts, but contain other content.

 * Around here we call those Pages (with a capital P — if you meant the ones created
   under Write > Pages or edited through Manage > Pages). Many themes have a template
   specifically for Page display: page.php. You can edit the date from this by following
   Avenir’s directions above.
 * If your theme *doesn’t* have this template, you can easily add one by copying
   your theme’s index.php, renaming it page.php, and making the edits already mentioned.
