    Just search for the_time function and remove it. Usually it's <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>

    Hi, but will removing this affect the dates of other posts? And where is this piece of code located?

    If you want to remove the date only for 1 post you should something like this <?php if(!is_page(replace_with_post_id)){the_time('F j, Y')}; ?>
    This is located on home.php ot page.php or index.php depending on the wp theme that you are using.

    Hi Sam,
    I guess that an elagant solution will be to install a wordpress plugin named "WP Date Remover" (just google for it).
    It seems to do exactly what you want (never try it personally).

    BR,
    Marcel
