    I don’t intend to retrieve the date from WordPress published admin date, but rather for every time I edit directly the content in the template. I know how to do it in JS with javascript:alert(document.lastModified) but I would rather PHP use instead, and if posible in the format year-month-day

    Have tried so far:

    <?php echo date("Y F d", getlastmod()); ?>

<?php echo get_post_field( 'post_modified', 288 ); ?>

<?php get_the_modified_date();?>

    get_the_modified_time should work. Maybe you’re missing echo? Try this:

    <?php echo get_the_modified_time('Y-m-d'); ?>

    See the reference of get_the_modified_time for more info.

    Ok update: while it retrieves an incorrect date running in localhost it works properly on the live server
