# Removing Dates

 * I am aware that as of 14.7 the option to disable dates from the search meta descriptions
   was completely removed. This is a very important feature for many of my clients
   and I would like to create a custom plugin to add the option back.
 * Is there any way you could guide me on where to look in the code of 14.7 or maybe
   even provide the code so that I can add the option back using a custom plugin?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * [@binarywc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) Unfortunately we can’t
   offer support on custom code in the forums. We’d recommend for inquiries of this
   nature to be through [GitHub](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo).

 * I am asking you to tell me what file to look at to find the code that was already
   written.

 * While we are unable to guide you on how you could build a plugin on your own,
   we could definitely share a bit of guidance. You could find the relevant pull
   request in the following that will show you everything about removing the option
   to disable date in Google preview:

 * Again, I’m not asking for guidance on how to make plugins.
 * I’m asking for guidance on what files to look at for code from your plugin. Specially
   version 14.5 or 14.6 of your plugin.

 * [@binarywc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/binarywc/) We already provided
   that in the last response. For your convenience, we have added the relevant link
   once again that will show the pull request that dropped the relevant feature 
   with all the modification we have made in the plugin: [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/pull/15619](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/pull/15619)
