Got it.

So I am looking through the functions, and I see HTML being added four different ways (see below). Is there one way that is better than the other?

Here are the four ways I see HTML being added:

function name_of_function () { ?>
   HTML content 
<?php }

or

function name_of_function () { 
   printf('HTML content'); 
}

or

function name_of_function () { 
   echo('HTML content'); 
}

or

function name_of_function ($content) { 
   $content='HTML content'; 
}

That makes sense. So this explains why the function begins with the closing ?> php tag. It is closing the php tag that is at the beginning of functions.php so that the function can output HTML? Then the end of the functions re-opens the php, is that right?

Any update on this?

Ok. Figured it out.

I had the filters as the very last lines in my functions.php file. When I moved them further up, they started working. Isn’t that strange? Does this mean I have a typo somewhere in my functions.php file that causes anything below it to not be read?

On a related note, there are still dates in the XML Sitemaps. Won’t Google just take the dates from there?

It didn’t work…

Even with those lines added to my functions.php, these three lines are still found in the source.

`<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″ />’

Very helpful. Thank you.

amboutwe,

Is there a way to get the following lines removed from the Yoast SEO section of the source code?

<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" />

I cannot get it to work…. but I would love to know how.

Even with the date turned off inside the Yoast SEO plugin, the plugin is still adding these lines to the sourcecode:

<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?

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?

Mine is getting picked up from the Yoast SEO plugin, even though I have the “Show date” option turned off.

My source code shows this in the Yoast SEO area:

<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" />

What about removing these three tags which are added by the Yoast SEO plugin?

<meta property=”article:published_time” content=”2017-02-18T16:25:05-08:00″ />
<meta property=”article:modified_time” content=”2017-02-18T16:20:40-08:00″ />
<meta property=”og:updated_time” content=”2017-02-18T16:20:40-08:00″ />

It appears that the boolean error is gone. I will keep monitoring it though.

Thanks!

Same problem here. Though my setting says #000000 (black), the fonts are all blue.

This same thing is happening to me, and I am not on WP-Engine. I upload the images, and then in post-editing screen it shows the orange button which says “smush now.”

Although … I don’t actually know if the images are getting smushed on upload or not. How do I check that?
