I have this fiddle I have been testing to remove the first 14 characters from a span on my website, I'm trying to remove "Published on:"
https://jsfiddle.net/tetzuro/3ym8jwcu/
For some reason it won't work on the page, which is https://www.homecarepulse.com/blog/
I'm not sure what I am missing from my code but here it is for reference
$('.fusion-tb-published-date').text(function(_, txt) {
return txt.slice(14);
});
<div style="padding-bottom:15px;min-height:36px;font-size:16px;">
<span >Published On: Jul 28, 2022</span><span ></span>
<span >By
<span><a href="" rel="author">author</a></span></span>
<span ></span>
<span >23.8 min read</span>
<span ></span>
</div>

You are getting an error in the console
Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function
.
That means you are, most probably using it before the $
is initialised or not initialising it at all.
The fastest solution for this is to replace $
with jQuery
:
jQuery('.fusion-tb-published-date').text(function (_,txt) {
return txt.slice(14);
});

Looks like you haven't imported the jQuery library on the site! In the dev console, I can see that $
isn't defined. Try importing the jQuery library from a CDN like so:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js" integrity="sha256-/xUj 3OJU5yExlq6GSYGSHk7tPXikynS7ogEvDej/m4=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
