Remove date from Google Search Results Description

4 comments

1. Paste this code in functions.php

   add_filter( 'wpseo_show_date_in_snippet_preview', false); //Returning false on this will prevent the date from showing up in the snippet preview.
   

   Note:
   WordPress SEO api

2. I think I got it.

   Navigate to SEO>Titles and Metas and remove %%date%% from Meta description template field.

3. Unfortunately the accepted answer is incorrect. (See 1.)

   Below is the working answer I have found. (Sourced here 2.)

   add_action('wpseo_dc_'.'DC.date.issued', '__return_false'); // Premium only
   add_filter( 'wpseo_og_article_published_time', '__return_false' );
   add_filter( 'wpseo_og_article_modified_time', '__return_false' );
   add_filter( 'wpseo_og_og_updated_time', '__return_false' );

4. Try this, it will work

   // Remove DatePublished
    add_filter( 'wpseo_schema_graph_pieces', 'remove_datePublished_from_schema', 11, 2 );
    add_filter( 'wpseo_schema_webpage', 'remove_datePublished_property_from_webpage', 11, 1 );
   
    /**
    * Removes the DatePublished graph pieces from the schema collector.
    *
    * @param array  $pieces  The current graph pieces.
    * @param string $context The current context.
    *
    * @return array The remaining graph pieces.
    */
   function remove_datePublished_from_schema( $pieces, $context ) {
   return array_filter( $pieces, function( $piece ) {
       return ! $piece instanceof YoastWPSEOGeneratorsSchemadatePublished;
   } );
   
   }
   
   /**
    * Removes the DatePublished property from the WebPage piece.
    *
    * @param array $data The WebPage's properties.
    *
    * @return array The modified WebPage properties.
    */
   function remove_datePublished_property_from_webpage( $data ) {
   if (array_key_exists('datePublished', $data)) {
       unset($data['datePublished']);
   }
   return $data;
   
   }
