Literally zero apart from that. The screenshots before you download the plugin make it appear as though targeted post date removal is an inherent feature. It's not. You download and then say, "Wait, there's no way to remove a date from my pages?" Then you see in advanced settings you need to buy PRO to have that simple feature. So don't waste your time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/73e3eff7cb431d90ec0eb0d5eefcd416678f1bec5c9f2224a8081883d41b8824? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin works ery good and also support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-works-ery-good-and-also-support/)󠁿 [a897654z](https://profiles.wordpress.org/a897654z/) December 10, 2024 I used this plugin for six mounths it works perfectly and support also perfectly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6c5bf309878dc96bf4c8b471f3074049a91ff06a77b3adb9339f8266ff940d13? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Make your site evergreen in Google search results](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-your-site-evergreen-in-google-search-results/)󠁿 [JJulien](https://profiles.wordpress.org/scabuster/) June 5, 2024 XYZ ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9acf14534fe2a700096db7e5d7d8899c9f9235b9b1915ba00e26c5c5472f645d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin is super easy to set up.
