    Fairly recently, the dates for all of our blog post are now showing in the Google SERP descriptions. I don’t recall making any changes or doing anything that would change this. Any ideas on how to remove the date from google’s listing? Is there a setting/recent change in the Yoast SEO plugin I’m not aware of?

    I am looking to do this too. I have the date option turned off in Yoast, but it shows in Google SERP results. All my content is Evergreen, so I want to remove the dates.

    I think Google is picking up the dates from the meta tags added by Yoast SEO:

    <meta property="article:published_time" content="2017-02-28T08:00:00-08:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2017-02-27T21:52:47-08:00" />
<meta property="og:updated_time" content="2017-02-27T21:52:47-08:00" />

    Does anyone know a way to turn these off?

    Hello, I would also like to remove blog post dates in Google SERPS. Currently I try this snippet which I put in the functions.php, but it also hides the blog post date on my website which I don’t want.

    `function mb_remove_post_date() {
    add_filter(‘the_time’, ‘__return_false’);
    add_filter(‘the_date’, ‘__return_false’);
    add_filter(‘the_modified_date’, ‘__return_false’);
    }
    add_action(‘loop_start’, ‘mb_remove_post_date’);
