    Hi, I’ve searched high and low for answers here ….

    The issue is that google search reveals dates of portfolio or post entry “publication date”

    These dates are the dates published, and not date last modified. (This becomes an issue when dates eg 2012 appear for posts that are regularly updated, and I use portfolio for services.)

    Yoast dates snippets switched “off”
    There are plugins that will remove the date, but I’d like to do this without using a plugin.

    Here’s what my developer says – can you elaborate on the first sentence … and any comments. I have other sites and would like to fix these without asking the developer, so can you suggest a solution without using a plugin?

    “I found that enfold generates its own “structured data” for google and search engines to use when crawling a page.

    I have managed to filter out the date published on this data that’s being output, leaving everything else, including the “last modified time”.

    Please see google structured data testing tool to see what I mean:
    https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool?hl=EN#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.specialistgp.com.au%2Fpaediatrics%2Fchildhood-constipation%2F

    If you poke through all of the “errors” ( essentially just missing data ), you’ll see that the only dates added into here are the “dateModified” and not “datePublished” as well, which used to be in there.”

    Hey richardbeatty,

    Sorry for the delay, we are looking into your issue and it may take some time. In the meantime you may want to have a look at this link http://www.seobythesea.com/2010/09/bad-dates-in-google-snippets-hey-google-ive-blogged-a-little-since-2005/

    And may we know what is the purpose you are not using the Yoast dates snippets feature ?

    Best regards,
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay

    Sorry for the delay in getting back.
    I turned off toast dates snippets jn the hope that dates would be removed from the google-crawl.

    You may be wondering why I posted this to you -the lead-on question is really

    What dates does Enfold use in its “automated Schema.org HTML Markup”
    – is this date originally posted
    – date modified
    – where can I find this code and I’ll ask my developer to see if we can change it

    thanks

    Richard

    Hi,

    The date was fetch from this container:

    
<div class="meta" style="margin: 20px 0 0; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #efefef; font-size:12px;">
			WRITTEN BY: Dr Richard Beatty
REVIEWED/UDPATED: <script language="javascript" type="text/rocketscript" data-rocketoptimized="true">document.write('May 27, 2016, 2:51 pm');</script>May 27, 2016, 2:51 pm
CREATED: <script language="javascript" type="text/rocketscript" data-rocketoptimized="true">document.write('June 23, 2015, 12:06 pm');</script>June 23, 2015, 12:06 pm</div>

    This container is not generated by the theme so it’s probably added by a plugin.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
