i need article publish date hidden or remove in google search

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing regarding the visibility of your article’s publish date in Google search results. To hide or remove the publish date from appearing in search results while keeping it visible within the article itself, you can follow these steps:

1. Remove Dates in the Content

• Edit your posts/pages to remove any visible dates that you have added.
• Ensure that there are no dates present in the content that could be picked up by search engines.

2. Remove Dates in Structured Data

You can modify the structured data to prevent Google from displaying the publish date:

• If you have Rank Math installed, you can use the following filter to remove the datePublished and dateModified properties from your structured data:

  add_filter( "rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity", function( $entity ) {
  unset( $entity['dateModified'] );
  unset( $entity['datePublished'] );
  return $entity;
  });

3. Remove Dates in Open Graph Metadata

To ensure that dates are not included in Open Graph metadata, which can also be accessed by search engines, use this filter:

  add_filter( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og_updated_time', '__return_false');
  add_filter( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article_published_time', '__return_false');
  add_filter( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article_modified_time', '__return_false');

Additional Considerations

• After making these changes, it may take some time for search engines to update their results.
• You can refer to our detailed guide on removing dates from search results for more information.
