Old page dates showing on Google search

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

We have a recently created Page that is showing up with a date of 5 Nov 2014 in Google search results.

The page was actually published on 8 Nov 2016, and that’s what’s showing on the page editor. There is no date showing on the published post that I can find

Ideally I’d like to turn the date off for everything including search results, as the material on the page is not time sensitive, but failing that I’d like to show a more recent date.

Can someone tell me where this can be controlled?

Hello bustedflushltd,

The theme does not control information displayed by google in SERPS. You can try to use a plugin which controls meta info and we can recommend SEO By Yoast in this regard. Please follow this link for more details https://yoast.com/snippet-preview/ The Google SERP will display the time that was indexed by the Google.
Please check this topic, maybe it is useful for you -> http://pointblankpro.com/how-remove-date-google-serp-wordpress/ You could try to edit td_module_single_base.php file and remove/delete datePublished item prop

Please notice that our theme uses the get_the_time function for the time instead the_time. So, if you want to replace with your js code, you have to check the td_module.php file which is set it the time which appears on modules, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/BsPICSCq and then you have to check the td_module_single_base.php which is set it the time which appears on your posts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/cl8S4udg6D Please notice that these settings are not theme related and we cannot provide support in this regard

Thank you for your understanding!
