How to get the Last Updated date rather than Published date of post

    Hi,

    I have figured out the code which I have to modify to get Last Updated instead of Published date for blog posts. But on trying many things I am not able to get the Last Modified date. Here is the code of my theme

    $time_string = ‘<time class=”entry-date published” datetime=”%1$s”>%2$s</time>’;
    if ( get_the_time( ‘U’ ) !== get_the_modified_time( ‘U’ ) ) {
    $time_string .= ‘<time class=”updated” datetime=”%3$s”>%4$s</time>’;
    }

    $time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
    esc_attr( get_the_date( ‘c’ ) ),
    esc_html( get_the_date() ),
    esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( ‘c’ ) ),
    esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    $posted_on = sprintf(
    _x( ‘Posted on %s’, ‘post date’, ‘magnet’ ),
    ‘‘ . $time_string . ‘‘
    );

    Please, let me know what to modify in this code to get the last updated date of post.

    Hi Hemant Mendiratta

    The theme’s css is hiding the elements with the .updated class.

    .byline, .updated {
    display: none;
}

    Try renaming it to something else like modified.

    Thank You so much. It worked like a charm.

    I changed the updated date class name to something else and didn’t concat the published date with that.

    Earlier I tried to make it visible through but wasn’t working.

    Thank You again.
