    Do you have a tutorial on adding the dateModified on posts? You have a ticket where this was already asked, but the video you supplied now has a 404 error. I have RankMath and Elementor. Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention.

    You can use and modify this filter to add some logic to tell the plugin where to get this value from:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_review_entity', function( $entity ) {
    	global $post;
    	$entity['dateModified'] = $post->post_modified;
    	return $entity;
    }, 10, 1 );

    Once done, it should be added to your theme’s functions.php file.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    So is this schema markup where Google will display the last updated date? Or will they continue to show the published date on SERP results?

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back. Sorry for the delay and any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Yes, that filter will add the dateModified to your schema markup but it’s completely up to Google if they pick up your datePublished or dateModified to display in the search results.

    You can also refer to the following article for more info about this: https://rankmath.com/kb/remove-dates-from-search/#how-google-picks-the-date

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.
