[Resolved] Display original date and last update date

Hi Tom, thank you for getting back to me.

Yes, I was able to display the “last update” date but I’d like also to display the date when the article was first published.

Let’s say that I have a blog post published on 12 December 2019 and the same article was updated on the 6 January 2020; is it possible in this case to achieve something like:

Avatar + Author Name | 12 December 2019 | Last updated: 6 January 2020

And not displaying the “Last updated” date if no edits were made to the original blog post?

So only Avatar + Author Name | 12 December 2019 in case that the article is not updated?

Also, I’d like to rearrange the order of the Entry Meta Style like the Example 1 showed here https://docs.generatepress.com/article/entry-meta-style/ but now it show the author name twice as you can see from here https://imgur.com/DzHDjlF

Any idea?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks!

Removing the CSS worked but now there’s no space between the 2 dates https://imgur.com/7XpKv2z

How do I add the space and reorder to have Avatar + Author name | Original date | Last updated date?

For the post meta I’m using the following CSS:

.posted-on .updated {
    display: inline-block;
}

.posted-on .updated:before {
    content: "Ultimo aggiornamento: ";
}

and this one:

.byline img {
    width: 25px;
    height: 25px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: relative;
    vertical-align: middle;
    margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}

.comments-link,
.posted-on {
	border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
	padding-left: 10px;
	margin-left: 10px;
}

and the 2 snippets below:

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', function() {
    printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
        sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <span class="fn n author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></span>',
            __( 'by','generatepress'),
            esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
            esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ),
            get_the_author() ) ),
            esc_html( get_the_author() )
        ) 
    );
} );

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $output, $time_string ) {
	printf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span>',
		$time_string
	);
}, 10, 2 );

to remove links from author name and post date.

And also the php snippet in the Example 1 here https://docs.generatepress.com/article/entry-meta-style/

Hi Tom, the CSS worked 🙂 thank you!

I added the generate_post_author_output in the PHP snippet listed here https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_author_output/#remove-link to remove link from the Author name.

Working now, thank you for your help! 🙂
