Google not showing last modified date, only published date

    I am using WP Last Modified Info and it seems to work, but Google isn’t showing my last modified date in search results, only the published date.

    Eg. for my post at https://outwittrade.com/blinkist-review/ , it was posted March 6, 2020 and updated April 21, 2020 (as is clearly displayed) and Google has the date as March 6, 2020 in search results.

    Looking up the above URL on https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool shows it picks up the datePublished as follows (under “BlogPosting”):

    datePublished
    2020-03-06
    dateModified
    2020-04-21T06:03:00

    I have also set the JSON-LD Schema Markup Mode to “Default Mode (CreativeWork)” for posts in Settings -> WP Last Modified Info.

    Is there any issue with my site causing Google to not publish the updated date?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    It seems that you are using an SEO plugin, it is recommended to use “Compatibility Mode” for JSON-LD Data so that you don’t get conflict with other JSON-LD data which may be already found and generated by your theme, or SEO plugin.
    The other optimal option for this case may be also to turn it “disable” mode.

    Regarding your selection of (CreativeWork) markup for posts, this is not an example of markup that will fit different projects.
    It depends on the purpose of the project at the first priority to avoid violation of Google policies regarding schema practices and the second which you should consider before selecting this markup, is to make sure there won’t be a conflict with any markup maybe already found on your source page.
