    Hi Sayan,

    Great plugin. Unfortunately stopped working on our site with Astra theme after the update from 1.7.7. to 1.8.1. I had to revert the update to get the modified date back.

    I noticed in the code it now posts both dates on our post, but it only shows the original publication date. Dates in the XML sitemap seem okay. Plugin settings are the same.

    1.7.7 (this is what we want to show)
    <span class="posted-on"><span class="updated" itemprop="dateModified"> May 23, 2022</span></span>

    1.8.1 (this only prints the original (old) date on the page – not what we want)
    <span class="posted-on"><span class="published" itemprop="datePublished"> September 5, 2017</span><span class="updated" itemprop="dateModified"> May 23, 2022</span></span>

    Hi,

    It seems that you were using Astra Theme support option under Template Tags Tab which is now removed.

    You can use Replace method instead:

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you.

    That worked like a charm, thanks Sayan!

    Ah okay, while it looks great on the front-end I’m seeing it print the “published” date in the code, which it did not before. Is there a way to only print the “updated” date?

    The concern being that we’ve seen historically how printing an older date can confuse Google and mess up our rankings.

    Example:

    <span class="posted-on"><span class="published" itemprop="datePublished"> May 15, 2015</span><span class="updated" itemprop="dateModified"> December 14, 2021</span></span>

    Thanks Sayan. It almost works, but not quite. If I select “hide from search engine” the date disappears completely:

    <span class="published" itemprop="datePublished"> </span><span class="updated" itemprop="dateModified"> </span></span>

    If I select “replace modified” it shows up twice:

    <span class="published" itemprop="datePublished"> March 4, 2022</span><span class="updated" itemprop="dateModified"> March 4, 2022</span></span>
