Use Wordpress Modified Date instead of Wordpress Date in JobPosting schema

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing. To modify the JobPosting schema in Rank Math to display the post’s modified date instead of the publish date, you will need to customize the schema output using a filter.

Here’s a general approach you can take:

1. Add a Custom Function: You can add a custom function in your theme’s functions.php file to modify the schema output. Use the rank_math/json_ld/job_posting filter to change the date.

2. Use the Modified Date: In your custom function, retrieve the modified date using get_the_modified_time() and set it in the schema.

Here’s an example of how you might implement this:

   add_filter('rank_math/json_ld/job_posting', function($data) {
       if (isset($data['datePosted'])) {
           $data['datePosted'] = get_the_modified_time('Y-m-dTH:i:sP');
       }
       return $data;
   });

This code checks if the datePosted key exists in the JobPosting schema and replaces it with the modified date.

3. Save Changes: After adding this code, save your changes and check your schema output to ensure that the modified date is now being used.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with this implementation, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,

Could you please share the affected URL where the jobPosting schema is applied so we can check?

Meanwhile, please try this filter and check if the date is already correct:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_jobposting_entity', function( $entity ) {
	if(isset($entity['datePosted'])){
		$entity['datePosted'] = get_the_modified_time('Y-m-dTH:i:sP');
	}
	return $entity;
});
