Hi there,

Does this help?

Let me know 🙂

That is the snippet I have been looking at but it ends up showing “Updated on: by Robert Jones” – missing the actual date/time there.

Instead of using code, go to “Settings > General” and set your time format to something like this:

F j, Y g:i a

My settings already were set to that. I changed that function a little to this and it works fine now:

$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
esc_attr( get_the_date() ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_html( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( ‘c’ ) ),
esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
);

Awesome, glad you got it working 🙂
