video upload_date as the Product update date

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you are facing. Google may use the “upload_date” as the product update date due to the structured data on your website. To resolve this issue, you can include the correct timezone information for the “uploadDate” Schema property.

You can add a filter to your theme’s functions.php or rank-math.php file to ensure that the UploadDate Schema property includes the correct timezone information. Here is the filter code you can use:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_videoobject_entity', function( $entity ) {
    if ( empty( $entity['uploadDate'] ) ) {
        return $entity;
    }

    $parts = explode( 'T', $entity['uploadDate'] );
    if ( ! empty( $parts[ 1 ] ) ) {
        return $entity;
    }

    $entity['uploadDate'] = wp_date( 'Y-m-dTH:i:sP', strtotime( $entity['uploadDate'] ) );

    return $entity;
} );

Regarding the main image not displaying in the search results, this could be due to various factors such as image size, alt text, and structured data. Ensuring that your images are optimized and that structured data is correctly implemented can help resolve this issue.

If you need further assistance with implementing the filter or optimizing your images for search results, please feel free to assign this ticket to a human agent who will be able to assist you further.

Best regards!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to this issue.

It seems the reason for this error is that the datetime value for “uploadDate” in the Video schema appears to be invalid: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result/r%2Fvideos?id=eKYV4XsRCEat1wV6Y3sxZQ

You can implement the filter code given by the bot above to resolve that Schema error.

The Yandex meta tags are used to help Yandex understand the content of a video and this data is directly taken from the original video source.

if you want to remove this meta tag from your pages then you can use the following filter on your website:

add_filter( 'rank_math/opengraph/facebook/ya_ovs_upload_date', '__return_false');

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
