Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Old Post Date Remover

The short answer is no. For a longer explanation, see this response to a kind review asking for that functionality.

I am active in patching the plugin to work for as many themes as possible. Please check out the plugin site for some troubleshooting, and contact me on the support forums (where I will actively answer).

Yes! as of version 2.0 you can now customize the length of time (in days) in the WP Old Post Date Remover settings page.

Yes, you can make any css style changes to older posts that you would like. Modify the OPDRstyle.css file with anything you'd like to show up on those older posts. Keep in mind, though, that any updates to the plugin will overwrite your changes.

No, because it simply hides the date from readers using CSS, it has no effect whatsoever on Google or other Search engines. Loading the extra TINY stylesheet on older posts should not affect page load time.
