How to edit or remove comment dates?

[kevinh]

I'm wondering if there is a way to edit the dates on the comments after you generate the reviews or even remove the dates all together. I know I could edit them manually, but I'd rather not do that if I don't have to. I find that it doesn't look right when you have 20 comments and they are all on the same day. Maybe I'm over thinking it :)

I tried hacking around in wordpress, but I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks!

Well the generated comment dates will be randomly chosen from the range between the post date and today. So if your post is date yesterday then your comments will all be packed together. Move your post date back some and the generated comments will be more spread out.

The dates for the comments cannot be removed; WordPress requires them. You can mass edit them directly in the database but there is no easy mass-edit provided by the plugin or the WordPress admin area.

you can also go into your template and remove them from there. check /includes/comment1.php or similar. depends on what theme you are using.

Thanks for your help guys! I'll backdate the posts for now and then add the reviews.

I'll check out the templates when I have some more time.
