dateModified younger than datepublish for planed articles

Hello @michel173

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that there’s a discrepancy in datePublished and dateModified for your posts. Do you schedule your posts ahead or publish them immediately after you’re done writing?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hello again, if we publish immediately everything is ok. But if we schedule the post, then dateModified is younger than datepublished. We would like for schedule posts detaPublish = dateModified. There gives a lot of hooks and workarrounds in the wordpress-Community. But at first we would like to ask you about the problem/bugfixing in YOAST. It can also be correct for you or your offical YOAST SEO Plugin. Thanks

Hello @michel173

Hey there, we adapt this little bugfix in your YOAST Plugin. wordpress-seo/src/generators/schema/article.php on line 57. Could you fix this in the new YOAST SEO Version of your plugin. Because it is now a customized fix by us and after update the problem/bug is back again. Thanks
