Overview
WP Old Post Date Remover removes the distractingly old date from otherwise perfectly good evergreen content on your WordPress blog.
This plugin does not deal with the date on SERPs or archive pages. Single posts only.
You spent the time creating great content, and now readers and potential customers are getting sidetracked by the fact that it’s 13 months old.
Install the WP Old Post Date Remover plugin, activate it, and pick the number of days you’d like to show the dates on your posts.
NOTE: if your theme does not place the date within its own span class or div class, (or does that annoying thing where they put the word “on” outside of the date’s span or div) this plugin will not work, out of the box. But with a few extra lines of code, we can get you workin…

Hello your plugin is great, the problem I have is that I removed the Post date but the date still appears in the snippet in search engines Google .
I left it for 2 weeks and the date is still indexed . Could you fix it please?
in the post date does not appear: http://elpoderdelandroideverde.com/5-dias-de-uso-xiaomi-redmi-note-2-prime/
but the date is always indexed in google: https://www.google.es/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=5%20dias%20de%20uso%20xiaomi%20redmi%20note%202

Old Post Date Remover does exactly what you expect it to do!
We have many posts that are not date-specific — the posts contain information that is helpful regardless of the date, but readers will sometimes think it’s “old info” and may go looking elsewhere.
By hiding the post’s date, readers aren’t scared away … and they linger longer on our website.
Great job, Ben Meredith!
Awesome support
