how to remove "updated date" from a single blog

Hi raizaduran. Do you have Customize > Global Settings > Performance and SEO > Use Structured Data Markup option enabled?

Yes, I’ve unchecked it and it resolved the problem. But I don’t know if this would affect my site’s SEO and rating.

What do you suggest?

I don’t know if this would affect my site’s SEO and rating.

That’s anyone’s guess. SEO is, in my opinion, a very subjective topic. If you want to keep the Structured Data Markup enabled, the other option is to copy the single.php theme file to a child theme and modify the output. Not difficult; you only need to change one line of code. If you want help with that let me know.

Yes, I’d love to do that change. Please let me know, how to do that.

1. Create a /parts subdirectory in your child theme.
2. Copy /parts/single-suthor-date.php from the parent theme to that same path in your child theme.
3. Locate this section of code:

<?php if( get_the_modified_date() != get_the_date() || get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time() ) : ?>
  <?php _e('Published', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="published" datetime="<?php the_time('Y-m-d H:i:s'); ?>"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></time>
  <?php _e('Updated', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="updated" datetime="<?php the_modified_time('Y-m-d H:i:s'); ?>"><?php the_modified_time('F j, Y'); ?></time>
<?php else : ?>

Remove the “Updated” line so it looks like this:

<?php if( get_the_modified_date() != get_the_date() || get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time() ) : ?>
  <?php _e('Published', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="published" datetime="<?php the_time('Y-m-d H:i:s'); ?>"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></time>
<?php else : ?>

Wow! This is so cool.

Thanks a lot for the amazing help you do on every thread bdbrown.

God bless you.

Thank you and you’re welcome.
