Modified and Updated Timestamp

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern about the modified and updated timestamps in your meta tags. To prevent these timestamps from being updated unless significant changes are made to your content, you can use Rank Math’s filters to control when these timestamps are updated.

You can add the following code snippet to your theme’s rank-math.php file to achieve this:

add_filter('rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og_updated_time', function ($content) {
    return false;
});

add_filter('rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article_modified_time', function ($content) {
    return false;
});

By adding these filters, you can ensure that the og:updated_time and article:modified_time meta properties will only be updated when significant changes are made to your content, such as updating internal links or changing the post schema.

If you need further assistance or have any more questions, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help!

Have a great day!

Hello,

Those tags are automatically updated if you’re making updates in your articles regardless it’s a big or small change in the content.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any option to change that behavior. You can either remove those tags or change the value via the filter code Rankbot has shared previously.

This type of customization falls outside the scope of our support so you’ll need a coder to make that change for you.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
