Problem with OG TAG

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the “ya:ovs:upload_date” tag. It seems that Google Discover is recognizing the date of the video as the date of the publication text, which is causing confusion.

To address this issue, you can use a filter to modify the “UploadDate” Schema property in your theme’s functions.php or rank-math.php file. This filter will ensure that the UploadDate Schema property includes the correct timezone information.

Here’s the filter code you can use:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_videoobject_entity', function( $entity ) {
    if ( empty( $entity['uploadDate'] ) ) {
        return $entity;
    }

    $parts = explode( 'T', $entity['uploadDate'] );
    if ( ! empty( $parts[ 1 ] ) ) {
        return $entity;
    }

    $entity['uploadDate'] = wp_date( 'Y-m-dTH:i:sP', strtotime( $entity['uploadDate'] ) );

    return $entity;
} );

By adding this filter, you can ensure that the correct timezone information is included in the UploadDate Schema property, which should help resolve the issue you’re experiencing with Google Discover.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.
