[Resolved] Display "last updated" date instead of "published" date

[Uwe]

Hello,

As the title describes, I’m trying to display “last updated” date instead of “published” date for all my blog posts.

I tried the following CSS but it didn’t work, unfortunately:

.posted-on .updated {
display: inline-block;
}
.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
display: none;
}

.posted-on .updated:before {
content: "Last Updated";
}

Hi there,

try this:

.page-hero time.updated {
    display: inline;
}
.page-hero time.published {
    display: none;
}

Worked, thanks!

Hi Sumasri,
You can also try this method to show last updated date in your GeneratePress Theme ==>How to Display Last Updated Date in GeneratePress Theme?

Hi there,

you’ll find the CSS method required here:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/show-the-updated-post-date/

The alternative is to use PHP to output the updated date:

I am using this method in a couple of my sites but in a new site, this is not working. I tried using code snippets, gp child theme, and using main themes function, but nothing is working.
But the other sites are perfectly showing update date. What may have gone wrong here? Please help

Hi David?
Where to add below code? I also would like to display “last updated” for my blog posts.

“.page-hero time.updated {
display: inline;
}
.page-hero time.published {
display: none;
}”

Thanks,

[Elvin]

Hi there,

That code is CSS. Here’s how to add it in – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-css/

Although, we can’t be sure if that’s applicable to your site because that was written for the topic starter.

If that one isn’t applicable, can you open a new topic about this? Let us check the site to provide the applicable solution.

Let us know.
