ya:ovs:upload_date issue

Hello,

I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the upload date of the video not reflecting the correct time according to the India time zone. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Update the Upload Date with Timezone Information: You can add a filter to your theme’s rank-math.php file to ensure that the UploadDate Schema property includes the correct timezone information. Here is the code snippet you can use:

/**
 * Filter code to add time & timezone in existing Video Schema 
 */
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;
} );

2. Check Timezone Settings: Ensure that your WordPress site’s timezone settings are correctly configured to reflect the India time zone. You can adjust this in your WordPress admin under Settings > General.

By following these steps, you should be able to update the upload date of the video with the correct time according to the India time zone.

If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you for reaching out!
