UPDATED PUBLISHING DATE FOR POSTS/PAGES

    We are experiencing an issue with the updated publishing of POST/PAGES. While Gutenberg shows the updated pages in the dashboard, when Google crawls the updated page/post, they don’t pick up the new updated publishing date; Google keeps displaying the old date in the Search Results. Do we need to change something in the SITEMAP? Any clues?

    Hi,

    this has nothing to do with your XML sitemaps.

    Google uses these meta in your source code (you can add them from the global Titles and metas settings page, Post types tab):

    <meta property="article:published_time" content="2024-03-21T07:00:45+01:00">

    <meta property="article:modified_time" content="2024-03-22T11:27:11+01:00">

    Search engines can also use other dates from your source code.

    Note that they also have to crawl again your site to update this.

    Thanks for your reply and the heads-up. In the global Titles and metas settings page, Post types tab, we can only check a box that asks:


    Display the     date in Google search results by adding article:published_time and article:modified_time meta? Unchecking this doesn’t prevent Google to display post date in search results.

    Are those the fields you are referring to? Please note that we are using the free version of the SEOPRESS plugin.

    Thank you again for your support on this.
