Hide date in Google snippet using PHP.

I want to hide the date in my Google snippet and I currently use Yoast SEO plugin. I couldn’t change there so I thought I could change it myself. I notice you have the ‘the_date’ function in 9 matches across 7 files. However, I thought I can use Javascript instead of PHP.

<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>
I can replace with,

<script language=”javascript”
type=”text/javascript”>document.write(“<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’)
?>”);</script>

Google does not use javascript when pulling data for the description. So it will display for the user but not read by Google.

I could do these in the free themes but am unable to find the required function. I am not sure what to replace with what.

In my files, I can only see,

C:\wamp\www\wp-content\themes\TheDefensionem\cover.php:
52 // Day
53 if( is_day() ){
54: $title = get_the_date();
55 $title_above = __(‘Daily Archives’, ‘brook’);
56 }
..
58 // Month
59 if( is_month() ){
60: $title = get_the_date( _x( ‘F Y’, ‘monthly archives date format’, ‘brook’ ) );
61 $title_above = __(‘Monthly Archives’, ‘brook’);
62 }
..
64 // Year
65 if( is_year() ){
66: $title = get_the_date( _x( ‘Y’, ‘yearly archives date format’, ‘brook’ ) );
67 $title_above = __(‘Yearly Archives’, ‘brook’);
68 }
