bug: show post published date vs. modified date

Have you found a fix for this?

I too am interested in a fix for this. All my posts were added at the same date, then modified back to replace the original post dates from the previous website. The widget now only displays the added date.

How can I retrieve the modified date? WordPress reads out the modified date but not the plugin widget. =(

Thanks for your help!

Hello,
I ran into the same issue. Jonathan Lahijani was correct the issue is on line 211 of the plugin’s index.php file. It reads

echo '<span class="post-date">'.date($format.(($instance['show_time'] == 'yes')?', '.get_option('time_format'):''), strtotime(($instance['date_to_show'] == 'publish')?$lcptu->post->post_date:$lcptu->post->post_modified)).'</span>';

It is basicly checking if the $instance[‘date_to_show’] is set to or equals ‘publish’ then show the publish date, if not so the last modified date. The issue with this line is the $instance[‘date_to_show’] option is never saved in the database as is it missing from the widgets function update($new_instance, $old_instance).

To fix this add the following link just below line 50 in the index.php file:

$instance['date_to_show'] = ($new_instance['date_to_show'] == 'publish')?'publish':'modified';

This will properly save the option and the the date_to_show check will have something to test.

Hope to see this in the next release. If you have any questions just post back to this thread.
Thanks
Tim
