Show Update date instead of Published date

    Hello,

    I’ve recently started using the Twenty Twenty-One theme, and I’ve got a bit of a problem.

    At the bottom of each post, I see a line that says ‘Published’ followed by the date that a post was published on.

    I was wondering: is there any way I can change that to ‘Updated on’ followed by the date when the post was last updated.

    If so, I’d appreciated any help with this.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    Yes, you could define the twenty_twenty_one_posted_on() function in a plugin or child theme’s functions.php which would then override the theme’s version as follows (using get_the_modified_date() function instead of get_the_date() function) …

    if ( ! function_exists( 'twenty_twenty_one_posted_on' ) ) {
	/**
	 * Prints HTML with meta information for the updated on post-date/time.
	 *
	 * @since Twenty Twenty-One 1.5
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	function twenty_twenty_one_posted_on() {
		$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';

		$time_string = sprintf(
			$time_string,
			esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( DATE_W3C ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
		);
		echo '<span class="posted-on">';
		printf(
			/* translators: %s: Updated date. */
			esc_html__( 'Updated %s', 'twentytwentyone' ),
			$time_string // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput
		);
		echo '</span>';
	}
}
