Embed a "Last Modified" date?

  • I have the date display turned off on my pages, but I want to display the date on just one page that gets updated frequently. Is there a way to embed the modification date in my page?

    Something like:

    Last modified on: [date_last_modified]

    Put this into your theme’s functions.php or better still, in a plugin

    // ==============================================
//       SHORTCODE FOR LAST MODIFIED
// ==============================================

	function cc_last_modified() {
	return '<div class="modified">Last modified: ' . get_the_modified_date() . '</div>';
}

add_shortcode('modified', 'cc_last_modified');

    Then you can add the shortcode [modified] within your post/page content where you would like the last modified date to appear. Of course adding the shortcode to a post will count as a modification to the content, so immediately after adding it, the current date will be returned.
