[Resolved] Add ‘publish date’ to specific pages

[Kia]

Hi GP Team,

I would like to display the publish dates on specific pages. is there a way I can add the date the page was published (like in a blog post) to just a handful of pages?

Many thanks.

[David]

Hi there,

where within the page do you want to show the date ?

[Kia]

Hi David,

Just below the title. Like in a blog post (example)

Thanks.

Try this:

1. Create a new Hook Element in Appearance > Elements:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/

2. Add this code to the Element text area:

<?php echo get_the_date(); ?>

3. Set the hook to: generate_after_entry_header

4. Check the Execute PHP option

5. Set the Display Rule Locations to pages you want it to appear on:

@David,

Can you share the link to that page?

If you want, you can also start a new topic so you can use the Private Information field.

@Fernando,

Here is the page link

Keen to do the same. I would like a “date published” and a “date modified” at the tops of each post.

[Fernando]

Hi Derek,

Are you referring to Posts or Pages? This topic is for showing the publish date on pages. If it’s for posts, kindly open a new topic.

Ravi,

Change this code:
<?php echo get_the_date(); ?>

to:

<?php echo 'Last Updated ' . get_the_date(); ?>

[Ravi Saive]

@Fernando,

Thanks, i modified the code to align it right side:

<p style="text-align:right;"><?php echo '<strong>Last Updated:</strong> ' . get_the_date(); ?></p>

[Fernando]

You’re welcome, Ravi!
