How To Change Date To Updated Date

Hi there,

This should help:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/show-the-updated-post-date/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_date_output/

Keep in mind that the upcoming GPP 2.0 will make this much easier so you might want to wait a bit as we are already in RC3:

This is so confusing.
Firstly I am not sure which option should I go with.
I tried adding CSS from here https://docs.generatepress.com/article/show-the-updated-post-date/
but it did not work.

All i need is updated date to show in both post and serp.

this is a sample post https://emulatorclub.com/best-gba-emulator-pc/

the date showing is the date posted on, need to change it to updated date

Awaiting reply.

Hi there,

add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_show_updated_only', '__return_true' );

as per this document:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_date_output/#only-show-updated-date

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Hi,
I added the php snippet as suggested using php code snippet plugin.
Now whenever i edit an article it shows option to add php code in that post. but what about older posts? old posts are still showing the date when they were published instead of the updated date.

The PHP should be applied to all the posts by default.

If you were asked to add PHP code in the post editor, I think it's some functions from other plugins.

Btw I just checked your site, it still shows the published date. Check if the PHP snippet has been activated in code snippet.

Also make sure you have your cache purged and cache plugin disabled after making changes to the site.

Let me know how it works.
