    Hello Enfold.
    When my pages appear in google results most of them get a “date” before the yoast meta description starts. ( the description doesn’t fit because of this). I don’t mind the dates being on blogposts but all the other pages shouldn’t have it. I can’t find any checkbox or option to turn this on or off. Maybe I haven’t looked in the right place. Could you help me?

    Thank you!

    Hey WolfvanHaeren!

    I’m not sure why that is happening but I don’t think it’s theme related, maybe you can try to look for the answer over at Yoast’s? http://kb.yoast.com/

    Regards,
    Rikard

    Dear Rikard,

    I have been digging around and I found the problem.

    The pages that get a date in the meta snippit are the ones who get blogposts through a magazine element. The date corresponds with the most recent post.

    I would like to keep these magazine elements to show recent blogposts about the subject the page is on. Do you have an idea?

    cheers

    Hi!

    Go to the SEO > Title & Metas panel. You can set the title and description of the home page, post types etc. Refer to this link for the list of available variables: http://kb.yoast.com/article/146-yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables

    Note that it might take some time before google crawl or index the site again so you won’t be able to see the result immediately. However, it’s possible to ask google to recrawl the site’s urls: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en

    Cheers!

    Thank you Ismael,

    The problem is that the date isn’t defined in the title or meta templates, so I can’t remove it there.

    cheers

    Hi!

    not sure if this date is a google function or a yoast function and in both cases I would ask in their support forum.

    Cheers!

    I had the same issue. I display the latest post widget in my footer and alle my pages carry the date in the google rich snippet. I solved it by removing the date from the latest post entries in the widget with this function:

    add_filter( 'avia_widget_time', 'mmx_last_posts_widget_remove_date', 10, 2 );
    function mmx_last_posts_widget_remove_date( $format, $widget ){
    	if ( 'avia_newsbox' == $widget && is_page() ) {
    		$format = false;
    	}
    	return $format;
    }

    The best solution would be to add a checkbox to enfolds latest news widget to disable the date on demand.
