    Hi!

    You can try Googling for a plugin that does this, such as this solution or the ones here. 

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    I’m a little confused, your first post asks to remove the date from google results, yet your last post, says you updated your date & google don’t show it?
    Please include the url to the page in question so we can take a closer look.
    Can you also include a screenshot of the google results that your seeing?

    Best regards,
    Mike

    I am having this same problem. Please assist. Google is showing the date of April 25 2017 right before my excerpt in the SERPS bc Google found it in my Portfolio item I placed in my footer.
    date in google search result
    I implemented the CSS fix provided by Ismael elsewhere that hides the date from being displayed:
    .news-time {
    display: none;
    }
    span.news-time {
    display: none;
    }
    But this doesnt prevent Google from displaying it. I made the change near a month ago and my pages have since been re-cached by Google and still have this date in the search results that makes my site look outdated.
    Please advise. My site is surgeonsonthecuttingedge.com

    Cheers Ariban but I am not looking to remove all dates from wordpress. This issue is because of the Enfold Portfolio widget and is showing dates on my pages in google results including the index even though I have hidden them.

    Is the Enfold Portfolio widget useless to me then? Can the fetching of the date by Google not be prevented even though it is hidden with CSS?
    Can you guys help me with this or should I just create a text box there with the info and have to edit it for all my new portfolio items?
    Ive seen multiple posts here about this same exact problem yet an answer eludes.
    It would be much easier for me and I would get more value out of my purchase of Enfold if this widget worked without messing up Google SERPS and inserting a date that takes up my call to action real estate

    CSS noneing things is not going to make the underlying date go away (it would only remove it from being displayed)
    You are going to need to do so deep reading of what I linked for you and then implement something
    If that is beyond you, just hire someone to do it for you

    Hi Worm.
    the date 4/25 is posted clearly on your site.

    Even if you were hiding it with CSS, it would not work with GoogleBot as it does not load CSS. You would need to remove it with a filter, or in the php code directly.
    Hope this helps with you question :)

    Best regards,
    Mike
