    Hi,
    How do I remove the date stamp next to the meta description on the google search? Yoast has a feature that can remove the date. Where can I find this feature on Rank Math?

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Search engines will extract the timestamp from the page content. Please get in touch with your theme author so that they can advise on how to disable the post dates on the page template.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thank you for the information. I’m not sure this helps, as Yoast has an option to remove it. It might make sense for Rank Math to do the same.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I will pass this on to our dev team and hopefully this will be included in our future development roadmap.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Yoast cannot do that either. The option you are referring to removes the date from the “search preview” that you see in the WP backend.

    Date hidden:
    null

    Result:
    null

    Date enabled:
    null

    Result:
    null

    This does not affect the actual SERPs. If the date is shown in the frontend using your theme, it will still appear in the SERPs.

    I hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
