Code works in Child Theme, but not WPCode

  • The following code aligns the last modified date with the published date. It works in a child theme but does not work in WPCode. Does anyone know why? 

    <?php

// Hook into the 'the_modified_date' filter for posts
add_filter( 'the_modified_date', 'wpse_modified_date', 10, 2 );

// Hook into the 'the_time' filter for pages
add_filter( 'the_time', 'wpse_modified_date', 10, 2 );

/**
 * Replace the published date with the last modified date.
 *
 * @param string  $the_modified_date   The current date string.
 * @param string  $date_format The date format.
 * @return string The modified date string.
 */
function wpse_modified_date( $the_modified_date, $date_format ) {
	// Get the post object
	$post = get_post();

	// Get the last modified date
	$modified_date = get_the_modified_date( $date_format, $post );

	// Replace the published date with the modified date
	return $modified_date;
}

?>

    Hi @michaelnorth,

    From what I can see the code should work correctly when added from WPCode, the same as from a child theme.

    There are a few things to check though:

    1. Have you removed the code from functions.php before enabling it in WPCode?
    2. Which auto-insert location are you using for the code?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. The code does not exist in functions.php, it’s been removed. It’s only running in WPCode. I’m using Run Everywhere. Any ideas?

    Hi @michaelnorth,

    Does the code include a closing PHP tag “?>”? I would try removing that from the snippet to see if it makes a difference in your setup.

    Otherwise, I don’t see anything that would prevent the code from working without more context. Maybe you can increase the priority to make sure the values don’t get overwritten by your theme/another plugin – so instead of “10, 2” you would can try “100, 2” for both filters and see if that helps.
