Wrong time on Google

Hi,

we are having problems with indexing on Google. An article published in this moment is indexed as published 16 or 19 hours ago. How come?

I attach a screenshot. The article which was published recently but on Google appears as 19 hours ago -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Schermata%202015-07-10%20alle%2015.56.40.png

This is link of article -> http://overpress.it/2015/07/10/barcellona-torneranno-strisce-verticali-maglia-2016-2017/

The time of server, CloudFlare and WordPress are ok.

Check the times ‘printed’ on your sitemap.

Time may be when captured, not published.

Do a php echo script of the current time on your domain.

Here is the sitemap -> http://overpress.it/sitemap-pt-post-2015-07.xml

I saw an article like Google. This is because it is a day back. How do I change? -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Schermata%202015-07-11%20alle%2014.47.30.png

Cloudflare is setting the cookie, why not ask them?

We asked, and we even turned off. The problem is not resolved.

From Google support forum telling us that there is a problem here -> https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/webmasters/sSEyv–7kkw/muCKI1CiqWEJ

In this line ->

<time itemprop=”dateCreated” class=”entry-date updated td-module-date” datetime=”2015-06-30T11:24:30+00:00″ >30 giugno 2015</time>

What should I change?

up

OK add, but how do I give you the timetable with Italy time zone?

if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_date') != 'hide') {
$td_article_date_unix = get_the_time('U', $this->post->ID);
$buffy .= '<div class="td-post-date">';
$buffy .= '<time itemprop="dateCreated" class="entry-date updated td-module-date' . $visibility_class . '" datetime="' . date(DATE_W3C, $td_article_date_unix) . '" >' . get_the_time(get_option('date_format'), $this->post->ID) . '</time>';
$buffy .= '<time itemprop="DateModified" class="entry-date updated td-module-date' . $visibility_class . '" datetime="' . date(DATE_W3C, $td_article_date_unix) . '" >' . get_the_time(get_option('date_format'), $this->post->ID) . '</time>';
$buffy .= '<meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserComments:' . get_comments_number($this->post->ID) . '"/>';
$buffy .= '</div>';
}
}

One presumes you have set the correct time zone for your server and php, and for WordPress, with possible .htaccess over-ride for specifying local time zone/GMT time?

We run into that when trying to set one site as EST/EDT and another for PST/PDT.

Might not be related in any way, just a thought, so apologies for not being more help.

Yes, everything is set correctly. But this error keeps occurring (Article published by a few hours, not 2 days) -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Schermata%202015-07-13%20alle%2021.07.40.png

Note that if you’re using Google News, they will update the “how long ago” based on when the story updated, not when first published. No way to control that.

But I have not updated … just released I checked, it was 2 days ago. But I had just published …

Already seen on Google News, the time is correct. It is only on that view window in Google Search which is wrong.

We have also a rediscount problem with the time on feeds RSS. The Flipboard app told us to solve this -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-22%20at%201.51.52%20PM.png

They said: “The publisher should put “pubdate” correctly. See the attached screenshot.”

We have no other plugins, only SEO by Yoast.

Hi guys, we are experiencing this same issue on GottaBeMobile.com and are going to switch to another theme because of it until we can sort out a fix.

The issue is that your Published times are localized and don’t include a Timezone offset trailing the time stamp. If you were able to add that it would solve the issue.
Could you please take a look at this document and see that Google is asking publishers to either provide the times in UTC by adding a ‘Z’ at the end of the timestamp or present the local time, but provide an hours offset.

In our case, our articles are hitting the Google News index immediately, but showing up as “7 hours ago” in Google’s main web search engine results page. We tried switching to another theme for part of a day and Google immediately began indexing articles in Google News and Google Web search engine results pages with the correct time stamp.
Could you tell me if there’s a way to add the timezone offset into the theme?

If you don’t have a trailing ‘Z’ to indicate that the time is UTC or a time offset, then Google will simply assume that the PublishedDate and ModifiedDate are UTC times in Google SERPs, even if the desired time is showing up in Google News.
