Modified Post Date

Hi there,

To show the modified date, add this CSS:

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

To hide the published date, add this CSS:

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

To add labels, add this PHP: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/8aa8c2d0f9457af904cf

Sorry Tom,

Events overtook me and I'have only just got around to looking at this.

It works perfectly. Many thanks!

You're welcome :)

Hi Tom! I don't want to hide the text with CSS as it doesn't remove it from the source code. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks!

Are you wanting to remove the entire date? If so, you can do that using the Blog add-on in "Customize > Blog > Blog Content".

Let me know :)

Hi, no. (Among other things) I want to replace the published date with the modified date. I also want to do other things (like keeping the author's name but without a link, remove the excerpt altogether, etc.). I know what WordPress tags to remove/replace. But I need an advice on what is the best way to go about it. I'm assuming using a child theme with modified functions.php file and, possibly, also creating a custom loop template(?). Am I right, or is there a better way? Thanks!

Ah, the function that handles the post meta is wrapped in a function_exists() function which means you can overwrite the entire function in your child theme.

Here's the function: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/3825ebd0c780b6021b0126c515f141e6

So if you paste that into your child theme you can adjust it as needed :)

Hey, Tom!
How can I show "Updated:" before the date?

Hi Ravi,

i see a new post has been raised. One of the team will look at it asap.
