Hi,
on our forum posting time is not necessary.
Therefore I would like to remove the time appearing beneath the posting date (on the topic view page).

I have already tried to modify the time format in the wordpress General Settings:
by selecting a Customer Time format -  removed the code format in that input. (just showing a blank section)
But after saving the new format did not make any difference still I can see the time.

Any idea how?
Many thanks in advance

Like WordPress, Simple:Press display is template driven so you will need to make a small edit to the template. In this case the spTopicView.php template in the /templates folder of the SWP theme you are using.

Locate the call to the date and time template display function which will almost certainly look like this:

sp_PostIndexUserDate('tagClass=spPostUserDate spCenter');

and change it to exclude the time element using the available argument:

sp_PostIndexUserDate('tagClass=spPostUserDate spCenter&time=0');

make sure your change is exactly as shown.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)
