I'm trying to display blog posts using the BlogPosting schema, but I am having difficulty getting the date to display in an acceptable format.

Currently, the responsive_child_post_meta_data() function contains the following:

<time itemprop="datePublished">%2$s</time>

But when I try to validate the results using the W3C HTML Validator, I get the following error message:

Error: The text content of element time was not in the required format: The literal did not satisfy the time-datetime format. Syntax of time-datetime: One of the following: month, date, yearless date, time, local date and time, time-zone offset, global date and time, week, non-negative integer, or duration. For more information and examples, see the section on the datetime value in the HTML specification.

  • Fix your php variable at %2$s

I was able to fix this by changing the date format in the Wordpress dashboard (Settings > General) to YYYY-MM-DD
