Drupal Tip #5 - Removing the Date and Author from Nodes

By default when you create a new page or story in Drupal you will see the date the node was created along with the author of the node. Depending on your site you may want to hide this information. Luckily this is easily accomplished.

First go to the theme administration page at yoursite.com/admin/build/themes. Then click on the "Configure" tab at the top of the page. Over on the right side of the page you will see a section labelled "Display post information on". In this section you should see a list of content types. Uncheck the boxes for the content types you wish to remove the date/author info from and save your changes. Now when you view these types of nodes the date and author info will be gone. Please note this just suppresses the display of the date and author data, it does not remove the information from your database.
