Last Update date do not update in google search snippet for page Header

Hi there,

The data in the page header doesn't have microdata currently. This will be addressed once the theme switches to JSON-LD instead of microdata.

For now, you may find a plugin like this useful: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-structuring-markup/

Thank you Tom

I use https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-structuring-markup/ plugin and choose Schema Type : Article

My article is product review.

My question, Is It write Schema Type? Or choose different type?

Check my article and confirm me.

Thanks a lot for your awesome support.

And I enable only article type Schema.

Am I right? and need to enable all type?

Yes I believe that's right.

You can now run your post through this tool to make sure Google can see the updated date: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

Hi
Tom, One week gone but still now Last Update Date not show in google search for page header element. I install this https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-structuring-markup/ with your way but why not work? Still show publish date in google search.

Please take a look this issue.

Did you run your site through the Google testing tool?: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/

Does it recognize the updated date?

Yup, Run and see Published Date and Modified Date Both Show on Article Section in Google structure data testing tool. Please check below screenshots.

Since Google is picking it up, it's usually just up to them on when they decide to show it.

You could try creating a shortcode which displays the updated date before the published date.

add_shortcode( 'updated_date', 'tu_updated_date' );
function tu_updated_date() {
    $time_string = '';

    if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
        $time_string .= '<time class="updated" datetime="%3$s" itemprop="dateModified">%4$s</time>';
    }

    $time_string .= '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s" itemprop="datePublished">%2$s</time>';
		
    $time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    $date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark">%3$s</a>',
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
        $time_string
    );

    return $date;
}

Then add this in the Page Header:

[updated_date]

Hey Tom

I applied your provide code in functions.php and used [updated_date] shortcode in page header almost one month ago but still show published date on google search.

Could you please check again?

Thanks

I'm afraid it's just up to Google. All we can do is add the necessary HTML markup. You can run your page through their Rich Snippets tester just to make sure the markup is working.
