Yes, it is WordPress. Positively, you can think it to be similar to embedded programming (not inside hardware but inside a software)
Options:
Use Plugins such as
1. WP Meta and Date Remover
2. WP Post Date Remover.
The plugins after installing will remove post date. However, you might need to add custom CSS for removing other meta information such as Author, Category, the words by and/or in.
The first plugin 1. WP Meta and Date Remover also have the option to write down custom css. The 2nd plugin might have that option – I did not explore. plugin 1 has better rating than 2.
You can even remove post dates just by customizing WordPress theme CSS. You can create a child theme and customize the CSS. Note, you do not want to modify the core theme css files because any WordPress update will overwrite your changes.
The following CSS classes worked with Plugin 1. However, the same CSS should work if written inside custom CSS file of the child theme.
/* Ref: The first four lines came with the plugin 1, rest I wrote*/
.entry-meta {display:none !important;}
.home .entry-meta { display: none; }
.entry-footer {display:none !important;}
.home .entry-footer { display: none; }
.post-date {
display:none !important;
}
li.byline {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
}
span.author {
display: none !important;
}
li.byline .terms {
color: #0000 !important;
}
[id^=post] {
padding-left:30px !important;
padding-right:30px !important;
}
Note: Just because I wrote it, does not mean that I want to work with WordPress/CSS. I do not want to.
