Title: datePublished & dateModified schema wrong Last modified: October 14, 2023 --- # datePublished & dateModified schema wrong * Resolved [Jimmy Ahyari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/) * (@71mm0) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/) * Sometimes I feel surprised, even though the article has just been posted, but on Google or Google News, the time it appears is not right. * After I looked at the HTML source, I found something strange in the schema created by AIO SEO. * For example in this post: [https://teknologi.info/2612213/rekomendasi-pc-desktop-terbaik-di-indonesia/](https://teknologi.info/2612213/rekomendasi-pc-desktop-terbaik-di-indonesia/) * If I check the database, the results are like this: * post_date = 2023-09-26 **11**:53:06 post_date_gmt = 2023-09-26 **03**:53:06 * which is correct, because I set the time zone to **GMT+8**. * BUT, if you look at the schema structure, what this plugin takes is post_date_gmt so it becomes: * “datePublished”:”2023-09-26T**03**:53:06+08:00″ * This is what causes every time I publish an article, every time Google indexes the article, it should only take a few minutes, but on Google or Google News it can appear several hours ago. * Let’s take the example I just posted [https://teknologi.info/1412323/download-wallpaper-ekslusif-windows-insider-9-tahun/](https://teknologi.info/1412323/download-wallpaper-ekslusif-windows-insider-9-tahun/). Now, when I take this screenshot, it is currently 15:09 (GMT+8) * [https://prnt.sc/P_Duf3kDe52g](https://prnt.sc/P_Duf3kDe52g) * Pay attention to the description on Google News: 12 hours ago! * In fact, this article was posted at: * post_date = 2023-10-14 **10**:40:13 (My sitemap shows the correct hours) post_date_gmt = 2023-10-14 **02**:40:13 * If your schema is correct, Google News should say 4 or 5 hours ago. But because the AIO schema takes it from post_date_gmt so it becomes 12 hours ago. * This also applies to dateModified * Or am I mistaken? * Thanks for your help * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdatepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [Jimmy Ahyari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/) * (@71mm0) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/#post-17124651) * For now, i edit manually all-in-one-seo-pack\app\Common\Schema\Graphs\Article\ Article.php and change post_date_gmt to post_date and post_modified_gmt to post_modified * If you have any other solution, let me know.

Let me know if you have any questions! * Plugin Author [arnaudbroes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnaudbroes/) * (@arnaudbroes) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/#post-17128008) * Hey [@71mm0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/), * I’ll have to try this out and see if I can reproduce the issue. I will provide you with an update here shortly. * Thread Starter [Jimmy Ahyari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/) * (@71mm0) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/#post-17134498) * Hi [@numbnerd14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/numbnerd14/), * The link you provided contains a way to “delete” it. Meanwhile I still want to use it. Is there a filter code that can change `post_date_gmt` to `post_date` and `post_modified_gmt` to `post_modified`. * Because by changing it directly in the file in the plugin (`all-in-one-seo-pack\ app\Common\Schema\Graphs\Article\Article.php`), then I checked the schema validator, the contents now **match the date** I want. * But this way, if the plugin has an update, then my modifications in the live file will be lost too. That’s why I need the code in the filter function. * Hi [@arnaudbroes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnaudbroes/) * Thank you for planning to execute this problem. I’m waiting for further information from you. * Thanks for your support, AIO Team 🙏 * Thread Starter [Jimmy Ahyari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/) * (@71mm0) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/#post-17134719) * This is my new post, publish at 19 Oct 2023 12:19 (in UTC+8). A few minutes later, i check google news [https://prnt.sc/nQ_FCS2LfkPc](https://prnt.sc/nQ_FCS2LfkPc) and this is correct. 3 minutes ago. * This is because i change post_date_gmt to post_date. If i stick with your post_date_gmt, google will show 8 hours ago. * Plugin Author [arnaudbroes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arnaudbroes/) * (@arnaudbroes) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datepublished-datemodified-schema-wrong/#post-17137322) * Hey [@71mm0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/71mm0/), * I just had some time to look into this and confirmed it as a bug.
