Removing time (hours-minutes) from post meta

Hi,

I’m trying to have Last Updated Date show at the top of Blog posts. This is the code I am using. The problem is that the time (hours:minutes) is now showing up next to the last updated date on blog posts.

I don’t want the time showing. Just the date. I tried removing the bits that indicate “time” (‘h:i a’)- but it didn’t work. I keep googling “How to remove time (stamp) from WordPress posts” etc., but I keep getting articles about removing the date instead. And while the information in the codex is good – I’m just learning PHP so I got a bit turned around.

Would anyone be able to tell me how to alter this code so only the Last Updated Date shows?

function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
$u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time(‘F jS, Y’);
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time(‘h:i a’);
$custom_content .= ‘<p class=”last-updated”>Last updated on ‘. $updated_date . ‘ at ‘. $updated_time .'</p>’;
}

$custom_content .= $content;
return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpb_last_updated_date’ );

Thank you for any guidance ??
