Setting the modified and updated time = published?

thank you!

Hello @queso

Thank you for contacting the support.

You can use the following filter to change the opengraph values:
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-specific-social-meta

Here’s the code:

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article:modified_time", function( $content ) {
	$post = get_post();
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og:updated_time", function( $content ) {
	$post = get_post();
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});

Hope that helps.

Yes I spent hours trying to figure out the first one using samples from the page. For us non PHP people it would definitely help not just to have the framework/shell of the function but some actual samples of a complete one. Would probably help lessen your support ticket load ??

But anyway, I tried both codes and neither seems to be working… I tried updating the post and it just updated with the current time for both of them…

Also threw in echo "<pre>"; print_r($post); exit; and with $content and neither page and no variable output…

Hello @queso

Sorry about that.

Can you please try this code instead?

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article_modified_time", function( $content ) {
	global $post;
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og_updated_time", function( $content ) {
	global $post;
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Yep… it worked… Final code below for anyone else wanting to do this…

add_filter( ‘rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_article_entity’, function( $data ) {
	$data[‘dateModified’] = $data[‘datePublished’];
	return $data;
}, 50, 1 );

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/article_modified_time", function( $content ) {
	global $post;
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});

add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og_updated_time", function( $content ) {
	global $post;
	return mysql2date( DATE_W3C, $post->post_date, false );
});
