    Hello,

    I use youtube videos with embed method on some pages and articles of my website.

    I have been encountering an error in recent days.

    For example: When I do a google search for the page xxx, a very old date appears in the search results in the section with my website. this date is not the date the post or page was created.

    the date that appears is the meta property information of the date “the youtube video was created” in the post or page.

    this is the example term in the source code:

    <meta property=”ya:ovs:upload_date” content=”2017-11-17T03:53:11-08:00″ />

    how can I remove this?

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the incorrect date appearing in the search results due to the meta property information related to the YouTube video upload date.

    To remove this date from the search results, you need to ensure that the Structured Data on your content is updated with the correct date. Since Google uses the dates on your content to estimate and display the published date, it’s essential to have accurate information.

    If you are using Rank Math, you can follow these steps to update the Structured Data:

    1. Navigate to the post/page where the YouTube video is embedded.
    2. Edit the post/page by clicking on Edit.
      Edit Post
    3. Under the Publish meta box, click on the Edit link to adjust the post’s time and date settings.
      Click on Edit Link
    4. Set the correct date and time for your post/page and save the changes.
      Schedule Post for future date
    5. After updating the date and time, Rank Math will automatically update your sitemap and the Schema & OpenGraph Tags for the post.

    By ensuring that the Structured Data reflects the correct date, Google will have accurate information to display in the search results, resolving the issue of outdated dates being shown.

    If you continue to experience difficulties or need further assistance, please feel free to provide more details or reply to this ticket for additional support.

    Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.
