Thanks alchymyth, but I got it! Figured out a much simpler way to accomplish what I was trying to do. The query function allows the modified date to be used in the “orderby” parameter.

See it in action (needs a little styling) at https://walkthurston.info/page-activity/

That’s my first custom query/loop. Not bad for a noob, eh?

Thanks alchymyth, but this doesn’t seem to do it.

Here’s my complete code, with the setup_postdata function call included:

EDIT: Providing a pastbin link instead of code after reviewing forum welcome/etiquette page: https://pastebin.com/WWwXjCYH

The above code produces this kind of format:

the_modified_time and the_excerpt function calls still don’t work. Could it have something to do with the foreach loop being wrapped in an “if” statement?

I’ve also tried some other date type functions, including the_time(), but it seems none of these will work. Any ideas?

Also tried using the_modified_time and just the_time. None of them will show.

I’m having a very similar problem with posting the modified date – using the_modified_date instead of the_time.

Were you able to figure out a solution?

oops, looks like the pastebin thing didn’t work.

Try again:

foreach ($recentposts as $post) {
        if ($post->post_title == '') $post->post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID);
        echo "
<li><a>ID)."'>";
        the_title();
        echo '</a>';
        echo ' was modified by ';
        the_modified_author();
        echo ' on ';
        the_modified_date();
        comments_number();
        echo '</li>
';
}
