[Resolved] Show only 'updated' date in the header

[Dave]

How would I implement something like this relatively simply with GP?

TLDR: Basically the idea is that you only show google the ‘updated’ date in the page source and not the published date to keep your articles ‘fresher’.

I’m technical so I’m guessing there’s no easier way than overriding the function that spits out the header in a child theme and omitting the ‘published’ date data but repeating the rest?

Yes I’ve seen that, that’s hiding it from the user withb css, i want to hide it from the source/schema.
