I did this a couple of months ago. Turns out that displaying the date on posts is one of the most important things that Google uses to determine relevancy. My site was slapped big time in Google search results because the Google crawler could not find dates on my posts older than 2 months. Yikes!

let’s see, perhaps u could help.
instead calculating the age, how could I ask if it’s “older than…” and the date that an admin choose??

please, understand it’s not 30 or 90 days old!
As an example… how to put “if it was written before January, 2010. “

Thanks Ashwin. I am using the default WordPress commenting system, however I don't have a lot experience with Thesis hooks. Could you provide a sample of code to hide old comments' dates and times similar to what you did with post dates? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Ricky,

If you are using a plugin for comments – like Disqus etc. it is not possible.
However if native comments are being used, then it can be possible using the hooks and code tweaks.

Thanks for posting this Ashwin. Is there code for Thesis that can also hide the dates of the comments on older posts?

Jan,

Yes it can be done with a trick by moving the byline before the headline and having just date in it.
But having the date within the headline... I need to check...

Ashwin,
Great post! This may be a little different subject from your post — trying to make the date “Jun 16″ with a couple of background colors — one small block and another bigger block — by the headline. For example,
it would look like this:
<2nd bg color> Jun 16 Headline title here

Not using the byline below the headline title.

Is it doable ?? Thanks a million!
