How to change the updated time of the blog articles?
7 replies · Started by Paul on October 18, 2020
Are there any ways to change the updated time of the blog articles from generatepress theme customizer?
For example: I published a new blog article on September 30, 2020, but i added new contents based on the old one on Oct 19/, then here it(https://prnt.sc/v22w23) will show the new date (October 19,2020) ,
where do I make some settings on customizer or extra CSS?
thanks in advance
regards
Hi,
I believe this may help you w/ what you're trying to do.

HI,
Thanks for quick reply.
i checked the link you send me, there are two ways included:
one is to just copy and add the CSS code to Appearance, Customize, Simple CSS
.posted-on .updated {
display: inline-block;
}
.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
display: none;
}
second is to just add header element
function post_modified_date() {
return get_the_modified_date();
}
add_shortcode( 'modified_date', 'post_modified_date' );
I can choose any one for this .
Im sorry that what is that? https://prnt.sc/v2382c

My bad. The previous one was for adding the updated time on page headers.
I think this is the better fit for what you're trying to do.

That is for when you want your date to have a "Last Updated" label before it.
And to be able to do that on blog posts, this is the proper css:
.posted-on .updated-date:before {
content: "Last Updated: ";
}
What this will do is display your updated date in "Last Updated: October 19, 2020" instead of just the date.
hi
i directly copy this code
.posted-on .updated {
display: inline-block;
}
.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
display: none;
}
to simple CSS, then published, then the blog articles will show the latest updated time.
it is also ok ?
Hi there,
yes that is ok
ok, thanks
No problem. :)
