[Resolved] Modify date post

[Fernando]

I want that when modifying a post, when it increases its content, the date of modification appears. How can I do it?

Ok, I add this in Css:

.posted-on .updated {
display: block;
}

Now the post show 2 dates: Creation and Modification date:

For example: https://www.jmpacheco.com/como-hacer-un-curriculum-vitae/

I wonder if with this action Google will read the modification date for indexing?

[Tom]

Yep, Google knows which is the published date and which is the modified/updated date.

[Fernando]

Ok, I’ve requested indexing in Search Console. In a few days I will see if it takes the date of modification in the SERP. Hope so… Thanks 🙂

[Tom]

Sounds good 🙂

[Fernando]

Yes Tom, but it only sounds good … 🙁
As of today it continues to catch 2016 on the date.
Also in the url is catching the category, instead of the actual url. Guess it’s for the breadcrumbs?

Sorry, I attached the screenshot.

It just may take some time for Google to update it.

[Fernando]

Okay, Thanks, I’ll wait.
Regards!

No problem 🙂

Hi Tom,

It has been a few days and Google changes the title and meta-description if I change it, but doesn’t change the date of modification of the post. It’s very weird. I think as the creation date is shown first, it takes the first date.

Is there a way that when the date of a post is modified, only the modification date appears and the creation date disappears?

[Tom]

Would you want to completely remove the creation date, or just hide it?

Seems strange, as Google should be smart enough to know which is which.

[Fernando]

Today has taken the date of modification of that post, great !!
But it turns out I’ve changed the permalinks including the category on url. I do not know if that is why he has taken it back. I think that if I had not changed the permalinks url, Google could still show be the same date of creation.

On the other hand what I would like you to do in GeneratePress is that once a post is modified, only the modification date appears. I think the issue of having two dates together is very rare for the public and for Google.

[Tom]

Great news!
