i’ve been trying to figure this out. how do i hide the post date from google search results?

is there a plugin or code that i can use?

i have post meta turned off in: Options > Blog > Post Meta, but the date is still showing.

Hi,

May I know when did you turn off the meta?

Please note that google search results needs time to update. It could take days or weeks before google will crawl your site again and update it’s data.

Thanks

hi, it’s been off ever since i installed x. about 3 weeks ago. that is the default setting, right? even new posts still show the date.

Hi,

I can see ou have seo yoast installed. You can try adding the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'wpseo_show_date_in_snippet_preview', false);

If that doesn’t work, you can try removing the date from your content.

Please also note that we have no control and nobody knows how google gets the data that is being displayed in the search results. You can only guess and do some trial and error.

Thanks
