How can I remove date time stamp from entire theme? I don’t want Google to show date in its search result.
I tried following code in functions.php:
/* Start of Remove Date TimeStamp from blog posts */
function remove_post_dates() {
add_filter(‘the_time’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_the_time’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘the_modified_time’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_the_modified_time’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘the_date’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_the_date’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘the_modified_date’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_the_modified_date’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_comment_date’, ‘__return_false’);
add_filter(‘get_comment_time’, ‘__return_false’);
}
add_action(‘loop_start’, ‘remove_post_dates’);
/* End of Remove Date TimeStamp from blog posts */
However, it resulted in weird Jan 1, 1970 date in Google search snippet as shown in below screenshot:

Please help.
Google may be taking it from your feed or sitemap or comments probably :/
You’re using WP SEO plugin. In titles and meta settings, uncheck the box that says “dates in snippet previews” and you’ll be good to go.
Wow… Google thinks your site predates the Internet…
Likely you would go into the loop file for the template you’re using;
e.g., loop-single1.php
comment out or remove this
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
Not sure if that is what you want …
Thanks Lucian. It was really a big help. Thanks again.. 🙂
