Change position of 'Last updated date' text

Hi,
I want to move the last updated text below the post title.
I'm using a Header element to display the post title, and a Hook element and this code to display the updated text: <span class="updated-date-label">Last Updated: </span><span class="modified-date"><?php echo get_the_modified_date('F j, Y'); ?></span>
Hi there,
if you're using the Header Element, then you can:
1. Add the PHP Snippet provided here to your site:
See here on how to add that: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
2. Edit your header element, and below the post title you can add your date like so:
<span class="updated-date-label">Last Updated: </span>{{post_date}}
The code in #1 will make it so the {{post_date}} template tag returns the updated date.
The alternative is to use a Block Element to create your hero, as that has more options that can be set in the editor.
Added the PHP snippet using a plugin and code in #2. But it's showing the published date instead
Also tried using
`<span class="updated-date-label">Last Updated: </span>{{modified_date}}
<span class="updated-date-label">Last Updated: </span>{{post_modified_date}}'
on the front end it shows
Last Updated: {{modified_date}} Last Updated: {{post_modified_date}}
Used [modified_date] instead and that worked.
Glad to hear that!
