Title: Remove datePublished Last modified: January 25, 2023 --- # Remove datePublished * Resolved [abc_2025](https://wordpress.org/support/users/motionskicken/) * (@motionskicken) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-datepublished/) * Hi, I have problems that Google displays a wrong date snippet in the search results. I couldn’t understand where the date came from until I, after some googling and testing, noticed that Google uses the date from the latest published Review which is quiet annoying if you e.g. are hosting an event once a year and then the date from the review for last years event is shown in the search snippet. Is there a way to change/remove datePublished for the reviews? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-datepublished%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Support [pear8398](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pear8398/) * (@pear8398) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-datepublished/#post-16411479) * Hi, * Thank you for using CusRev. * Our plugin does not support an option to remove the date publish of reviews.
