Title: Remove article:modified_time Meta Tag Last modified: February 4, 2025 --- # Remove article:modified_time Meta Tag * Resolved [ekesto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekesto/) * (@ekesto) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-articlemodified_time-meta-tag/) * Aloha everyone, * First of all, thank you for the great plugin! * I’m looking for a solution to entirely remove the `article:modified_time` meta tag from _all_ pages, posts and custom posts. * It shows up when sharing in some messaging apps, and I don’t want/need that. * My search for hooks and filters was not successful. * Appreciate any hint! * Best wishes, * Beat Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [Mushrit Shabnam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/611shabnam/) * (@611shabnam) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-articlemodified_time-meta-tag/#post-18288296) * Hi [@ekesto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekesto/) * You can use `wpseo_frontend_presenters` filter to remove the `Article_Modified_Time_Presenter` from the page source. * The Yoast SEO plugin code documents the available developer filters for customizing many of our plugin features. We also have a [developer portal with more information](https://developer.yoast.com/customization/apis/metadata-api/) about filters and many examples of how to implement them. Typically code snippets are added to your theme’s functions.php file. If you’re unfamiliar with using code snippets, we’d like to refer you to the WordPress documentation on [how to use a filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/filters/#add-filter). * **We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety.** A backup is crucial before making important changes on your website and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the [benefits of regular backups](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-backup-your-wordpress-site/). * Please know that, Google may still show the date in the search results even if the the date-related meta tags and schema are removed from your page source. * Thread Starter [ekesto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekesto/) * (@ekesto) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-articlemodified_time-meta-tag/#post-18289994) * Hi Mushrit, * thanks for pointing me in the right direction! * For anyone interested in the solution of this specific case: I’ll post the code here (works with v24.4): * ```wp-block-code function remove_canonical_presenter($presenters) { return array_map(function ($presenter) { if (!$presenter instanceof Yoast\WP\SEO\Presenters\Open_Graph\Article_Modified_Time_Presenter) { return $presenter; } }, $presenters);}add_action('wpseo_frontend_presenters', 'remove_canonical_presenter'); ``` * This displays all _but_ the modified time meta tag. * I had to use the class name _including_ namespace to make it work. * Best wishes! * [Sam Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gepotenuz/) * (@gepotenuz) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-articlemodified_time-meta-tag/#post-18290518) * Thank you Ekesto, but in my Open Graph markup there is still a modified time, version 24.4 - This reply was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by [Sam Smith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gepotenuz/). * Thread Starter [ekesto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ekesto/) * (@ekesto) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-articlemodified_time-meta-tag/#post-18291153) * [@gepotenuz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gepotenuz/) , the code above removes `
