Homepage date in SERP

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

Since I moved to the Cloud Template Tech News, Google shows a date next to my homepage in the SERP: https://ibb.co/xM1cHBz (the website is https://www.coupdepoker.com/)

I double checked in Yoast and the settings are fine.
I looked into Theme Panel and couldn’t find anything wrong.

Any idea where it might come from and how to disable this date?

Thanks

Hi,

I checked for a while, but I can’t seem to find from where the date is coming. It’s not loaded by the theme or Yoast. This is how Google sees it in the structured data tool, based on what the Yoast plugin outputs
https://prnt.sc/q0gs5u
And how it appears in the sitemap – https://prnt.sc/q0gvzo
In the source of the page there is no mention of that date. So where could it come from? Quite unusual. You could also create a topic here

Maybe the more experienced users from the Google search forum can take a look as well.

Thanks

Hi Simion,

I found the answer: it shows the date of the first featured article on the mobile version https://ibb.co/rMCcZB2

How can I disable (or hide) author/date on the front page grid of the mobile version?

Thanks

Hi,

I tried the code below and it seems to work.
.td-big-grid-wrapper .td-module-meta-info {
display: none;
}

Is it the right way to do it?

Yes, the code should do the work!

Hi,

Unfortunately, it does not the job.
My code hides the date but doesn’t remove it:
<div class="td-main-content-wrap td-main-page-wrap">

<div class="td-container">
<div class="td_block_wrap td_block_big_grid_mob_1 tdi_1_58b td-grid-style-1 td-hover-1 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1"><div id=tdi_1_58b class="td_block_inner"><div class="td-big-grid-wrapper">
<div class="td_module_mob_2 td_module_wrap td-animation-stack">
<div class="td-module-thumb">meilleur site poker en ligne</div> <div class="td-meta-info-container">
<div class="td-meta-align">
<div class="td-big-grid-meta">
<h3 class="entry-title td-module-title">Meilleur site de poker en ligne</h3> </div>
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<span class="td-post-author-name">Coup de Poker <span>-</span> </span> <span class="td-post-date"><time class="entry-date updated td-module-date" datetime="2018-11-02T11:15:14+00:00" >2 novembre 2018</time></span> </div>
</div>
</div>

</div>

This is a big SEO issue as Google picks the date (2 novembre 2018) and shows it on my homepage SERP.

How can I remove it?

Thanks

Hi,

If you do not want to load the date then you’ll need to remove or comment this code -> http://prntscr.com/q25jrr from -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/mobile/includes/modules/td_module_mob_2.php

Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Hi Calin,

Seems that it worked.
Do you think a development will be made in the next update to easily let us chose to switch in on or off instead of modifying the code?

Thanks

Hi,

Form what I know there are some improvements that will be add in mobile theme plugin, but I do not know if this is one of them, what I can do is to add in on our list.

Thank you!
