Display the Last Updated Date of Your Posts in WordPress
Do you want to display the last updated date of your article in your Wordpress post or page? In this article, we will show you how to easily display the last updated date of your posts in WordPress.
In this tutorial you will need to add code to your Wordpress files. We recommend you to install "My Custom Functions" plugin in your Wordpress site so you don't touch your core files.
1. Add this code block of code to My Custom Functions
2. Click Save Changes button
This is how it looked on our demo website.
If the post's published date and last modified date are different, it displays the last modified date before the content.
You can also add CSS style to the text, see my samply CSS code below
.last-updated {
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
font-size: 12px;
}
