Hi,
I want to remove the date from the serps in posts and have to questions:
1. Does generatepress work with WP Meta and Date Remover?
2. Is there any other possibilty to get rid of the date?
Thanks,
Dagmar
Hi there,
Have you tried to disable it in the customizer?

If this doesn't help, any chance you can link us to the page in question?

Let me know :)
I asked about removing the date from serps (search engine result pages)...
Hi there,
Search engine bots look for dates in various places, and it is there algorithms that decide what date to display.
There are two main places that dates are output:
1. Date meta in the form of meta tags or JSON-LD output in the <head> of the website. These are not visible to users.
GP does NOT do this. So if those codes are present then it will be from another plugin eg. an SEO plugin.
2. Date displayed in the post content.
GP DOES do this, and they can be disabled in the Customizer > La1yout > Blog.
If you a) remove any SEO date meta and b) disable the Theme dates then there should be NO dates for the search engine to find. And then the search engine will decided whether to not show a date. You should not need any other plugins to remove them.
If you're not sure of the above, then share a link to a post on your site and i can take a look.
