Hello !

You can use below code in single.php file in the place of published date. This will show both published date as well as last modified date.

Code:

Posted on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
<?php $u_time = get_the_time('U');
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U');
if ($u_modified_time != $u_time) {
echo "and last modified on ";
the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
echo ". "; } ?>

Thanks & Regards

Anyway of just displaying the last modified date only? thanks so much.

 

Hello !

Please use this code in loop.php and single.php from Appearance=>editor

Code:

 <li class="date">Last modified on&nbsp;<?php the_modified_time('F jS, Y');?></li>

instead of

Code:

<li class="date">Posted on &nbsp;<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></li>

Thanks & Regards
