Don’t waste your time, this plugin doesn’t remove a thing, absolutely useless
Can’t use on select posts unless you pay
by mehlmanmedical·1 year ago
Only function I wanted was to selectively hide the dates from select posts. Literally zero apart from that. The screenshots before you download the plugin make it appear as though targeted post date removal is an inherent feature. It’s not. You download and then say, “Wait, there’s no way to remove a date from my pages?” Then you see in advanced settings you need to buy PRO to have that simple feature. So don’t waste your time.

Plugin is super easy to set up. Totally worth it if you manage diff. scenarios

WP Meta and Date Remover provides a simple yet super useful functionality to our site where dependent on different categories, we’d love to show or not show the date. With the few clicks by the end user the job is done! Plus, Prasad is not only a fantastic web engineer, he also puts Customer – First and we experienced it first hand. Outstanding work!
