Remove published date when using Page Header

Hi there
It seems like my question was asked many times before. However, I think my question is a little bit specific
As the topic, I want to remove the published date (from HTML code) of a post when using a Page Header
- I read this topic: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/last-updated-date-does-not-show-in-google/#post-792504. Then followed it, it works well with normal post. However, it still showed the published date in the code when I put them in the Page header (I used {{post_date}})
- Then I read this guide: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_date_output/. However, when I created a shortcode and insert it in my page header. It showed, however, just plain text. I want it to be covered in a proper tag like this: http://prntscr.com/nnjdzx. Not just a text. So I used {{post_date}} and hope that the PHP code can remove the published date from that
Please show me how to solve this. And it would be good if you have a code that both removes published date in both normal posts and posts with Page Header
This is the code I used for header
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">
{{post_title}}
</h1>
<div class="entry-meta">
{{post_date}}
<span class="byline">
{{post_author}}
</span>
</div>
</header>
Thank you very much
Hi there,
I assume you're using a Header Element?
If so, try this function:
add_filter( 'generate_page_hero_post_date', function() {
$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s" itemprop="datePublished">%2$s</time>';
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 = 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() )
);
return $time_string;
} );Let me know :)

I used the code and the published date is completely removed from HTML
However, the Updated date still hasn't shown up.
Ah, sorry - try adding this CSS as well:
.page-hero time.updated {
display: inline-block;
}Leo
It works like a charm!
Thank you so much
You're welcome :)
