Xml Sitemap Last Mod Not Updating

  • Just checked my xml sitemap and sorted the last mod by date as i wanted to check on which posts had not been updated and found it hasn’t updated last mod to recent timestamp. It’s showing the date that the post wsa created. Could you please check and update as it’s the same on all my sites and last mod should mean last mod.

    Thanks ??

  • I just noticed the same problem and was about to report it.

    It was fine in version 1.6.1 and broke in version 1.6.2 (and currently broken in 1.6.3).

    To fix, find these lines in /wordpress-seo/inc/class-sitemaps.php :

    if ( isset( $p->post_modified_gmt ) && $p->post_modified_gmt != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' && $p->post_modified_gmt > $p->post_date_gmt ) {
	$url['mod'] = $p->post_date_gmt;
} else {
	$url['mod'] = $p->post_date;
}

    AND REPLACE above WITH (1 line that worked fine in version 1.6.1):

    $url['mod'] = ( isset( $p->post_modified_gmt ) && $p->post_modified_gmt != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' && $p->post_modified_gmt > $p->post_date_gmt ) ? $p->post_modified_gmt : ( ( '0000-00-00 00:00:00' != $p->post_date_gmt ) ? $p->post_date_gmt : $p->post_date );
