Hi Ajith – It’s always fun when you do a search and get hits on articles by people you know.

Kim,
Just found this post while searching for removing topics related to strange irrelevant text reported by Google webmaster tools. My post was on SEO though for the method explained here using callbacks is very good. Linked from my post…

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into the function.php file as you suggested ;-)

Hi – Then your theme probably has a function for comments in the functions.php file. There would be a similar line in there. That’s where the twenty-ten theme has it – there is a line that looks like this

comment_ID ) ); ?>”>
/* translators: 1: date, 2: time */
printf( __( ‘%1$s at %2$s’, ‘twentyten’ ), get_comment_date(), get_comment_time() ); ?>

I recommend being careful and making a backup before editing the functions file.

Thanks for the help but I don’t have the above in my comments.php. Looks like my theme’s comment.php is the new one since wordpress 2.7 with threaded comments and all that stuff.

Hi Udegbunam,

In this example, the date is the link to the comment. You would want to remove this part

htmlspecialchars
( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ) ?>”>
get_comment_time()) ?>

You might also want to make something else the link – if I need to link directly to a comment I use the date link.

I’d love to remove the date completely. Any tips regarding that will be very much appreciated ;-)

Hi JesC – Great! I’m glad it helped. I had found other tutorials that were hard to follow so I wrote this one up.
