Google showing the upload date instead of last updated date

Okay so I checked the “Structured Data Markup” option in the advanced settings. Now I see the published data as well as updated date.

My question is: what date will search engines pick up? If they pick up the published date, is there a way to hide the published data so they pick up updated date?

Hi,

I have the same issue, because Google takes the published date, for the SERPs.

How did you manage to show only the update date?

Anyhow there is something weird:
The page that you use as example has a modified date: (Last updated on February 7th, 2019)
But in the SERPs I have seen 19 feb. 2019 – for the same page.

Thanks, I fixed it.

For somebody else with the same issue:

• From hueman/parts folder copy the file single-author-date.php
• Then edit the file deleting all the content.
• Paste the file in the folder parts of your hueman child theme.
• Use the plugin code snippets and paste the following code:

If your site is in English:

function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
$u_time = get_the_time('U'); 
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); 
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { 
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time('h:i a'); 
$custom_content .= '<p class="last-updated">Last updated on '. $updated_date . ' at '. $updated_time .'</p>';  
} 
 
    $custom_content .= $content;
    return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpb_last_updated_date' );

if your site is in Spanish:

function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
$u_time = get_the_time('U'); 
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); 
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { 
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time('j \d\e\ F \d\e\ Y \|\ g:i a ');
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time('h:i a'); 
$custom_content .= '<p class="last-updated">Actualización '. $updated_date .'</p>';  
} 
 
    $custom_content .= $content;
    return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpb_last_updated_date' );

For styling, didn’t work the style.css from the child theme, so I paste the following code in Customizer< advance options<Additional CSS:

`.last-updated {
font-size: small;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

This codes slightly modified (for Spanish) are from this page:

What I could not solve is to remove the publication date of the home and category pages.
