Hi there,

Add this PHP snippet:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_date_output/#only-show-updated-date

Using one of these methods:

Code Snippets is the easiest if you aren’t using a child theme already.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hey Leo,

Only Show Updated Date is working. But my question is that

is that code work in google search to show Blog post updated date in search results?

I want to add “Updated on” word before the Date. How I do this?

[Leo]

– Yes

– Try this CSS:

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

[Sanjay]

.posted-on .updatedbefore {
content: “Last Updated “;
}

Above CSS is not working

here is the webpage link

I’m not seeing the link to your page.

You are also missing a : in the code.

Make sure to copy my code.

[Sanjay]

I paste code as it is but it doesn’t work so I modified and do an experiment.

Try this instead:

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