Remove the published date value from the article view screen

Hi Folks,

I am trying to remove the published date value from the article view screen. I tried clearing the date published field in Issue Management but it wouldn’t clear off. Is there any way to remove it?

I have attached a screenshot of the screen with the published date.

Thanks,
Sreerag

You could solve both this and the other issue (Unable to deselect Volume, number and years in issue data section) by creating a default child theme and modifying some templates.

Namely this: https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/master/templates/frontend/objects/issue_summary.tpl#L31
And this: https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/master/templates/frontend/objects/issue_toc.tpl#L69

There is still a bug in the getIssueIdentification function, but you could just remove that part from your custom theme template.
