 * In the link’s post page you can see:
 * – Published date: 10/07/2017
    – Last Updated (Modified date): 10/05/2020
 * But if you view the source, Published time = Modified time
 * <meta property=”article:published_time” content=”2020-10-04T23:37:05+00:00″ /
   >
    <meta property=”article:modified_time” content=”2020-10-04T23:37:05+00:00″/
   >
 * I would like to show the Last Updated (Modified date) in search results, but 
   keeping the original published time
 * My setup is: Post Date Time Change or Removal > Do nothing
 * Anybody can help me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpublished-time-modified-time%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Checking the structured data tool, there are 2 mistakes:
 * Hentry > Updated: 10/07/2017 (the published date)

    Article > DateModified:
   10/04/2020
