[Resolved] How to show updated on date on blog posts

[Junaid]

I want to show “last updated” or “published on” on my blogs instead of publishing date. How can I change that date?

Hi there,

are you using the Block Editor on that site ?

[Junaid]

I have no idea. What is block editor? I am using a regular WP editor.

Any new install of WP would use the block editor.
Does it look like the screenshots shown here:

That’s right. I am using block editor. I am not using classic editor or any other editing plugin.

What should I do to show last updated on my updated posts?

Try this CSS:

.posted-on .published:before {
    content: "Published on: ";
}

.posted-on .updated {
    display: inline-block;
}

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

.posted-on .updated + .published {
    display: none;
}

Thank you, it’s working.

You are welcome 🙂
