Hi, on pages I miss the “article:published_time” “article:modified_time” and “og:updated_time”. This seems to be a problem for Google and they use the “published-time” of old related posts which are on the sidebar of the page as the published date for our pages in their SERPs. E.g. a page published 5 days ago shows now 06.03.2016. How can I activate the missing metadata for pages?
How the metadata of posts look:
<meta property=”og:type” content=”article” />
<meta property=”og:title” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”og:description” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”og:url” content=”https://www.example.com/link/” />
<meta property=”og:site_name” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”article:section” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”article:published_time” content=”2016-03-06T09:53:41+00:00″ />
<meta property=”article:modified_time” content=”2017-02-09T09:19:03+00:00″ />
<meta property=”og:updated_time” content=”2017-02-09T09:19:03+00:00″ />
<meta property=”og:image” content=”https://www.example.com//wp-content/uploads/2016/03/maxresdefault-1.jpg” />
<meta property=”og:image:secure_url” content=”https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/maxresdefault-1.jpg” />
<meta property=”og:image:width” content=”1280″ />
<meta property=”og:image:height” content=”720″ />
VS metadata of the pages:
<meta property=”og:type” content=”article” />
<meta property=”og:title” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”og:description” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”og:url” content=”https://www.example.com/link” />
<meta property=”og:site_name” content=”Text” />
<meta property=”og:image” content=”https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/image.jpg” />
<meta property=”og:image:secure_url” content=”https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/image.jpg” />
<meta property=”og:image:width” content=”1200″ />
<meta property=”og:image:height” content=”880″ />
Hi,
We did not make any changes to the theme structured data, it should be the same as before. The theme will add basic necessary markup to specific elements. You can test this with the Google provided tool

Additionally markup could be added with a plugin if necessary. A page published time should be the one when the page is actually published, not an older date.
Hi Simion,
Thanks for your reply! I’m wondering if ever someone has checked this. I worked with your themes for several years but never used pages to publish articles (Only as a structural element). Now I work with more complex articles which require that. If I use the Google structured data testing tool it is obvious that there is no page published date/time on the page meta. In my opinion, this is a basic/ core function that should come with the theme and I suggest this for a future update.
Thanks
Hi,
The markup the theme ads is just for post pages, if you require markup for pages you will have to use a preferred implementation. Maybe this will help

I could not say when or if there will be changes in the theme in this matter unfortunately.
Thanks
