   Can you please tell me how to post the modified date AFTER the content. I tried using a in the footer.php but then it just displays before the content AND in the footer. I would just like the footer to display.

   Thanks guys, it works like a charm! A so so cool tip!

   If you want to add the last modified ONLY ON POSTS, that works for me (I’m Italian and I edited it not showing the hour and modified the date order):

   function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
   $u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
   $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
   if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
   $updated_date = get_the_modified_time(‘d F Y’);
   $updated_time = get_the_modified_time(‘H:i’);
   $custom_content .= ‘Articolo aggiornato il ‘. $updated_date . ”;
   }
   if(is_single()){
   $custom_content .= $content;
   return $custom_content;
   }
   return $content;
   }
   add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpb_last_updated_date’ );

   I have applied above all settings on my website and its working fine.

   But I have one question that when two dates shown above content then which date will be shown in google search engine result page? Please provide answer because I have done all this only for showing last update date in google search engine result page.

   Hi,
   Added the following code to functions.php

   function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
   $u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
   $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
   if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
   $updated_date = get_the_modified_time(‘F jS, Y’);
   $updated_time = get_the_modified_time(‘h:i a’);
   $custom_content .= ‘Last updated on ‘. $updated_date . ‘ at ‘. $updated_time .”;
   }

   $custom_content .= $content;
   return $custom_content;
   }
   add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpb_last_updated_date’ );

   Works fine for posts but … the same is displayed in Pages also.
   I want it only for post. or if pages then at a different place eg End og the page article.

   Best Wishes

   Thank you for the code.
   However, there is a common problem that Google pulls the date of the embedded youtube video instead of the updated blog post date. In your case, I see that the search results do in fact show the correct date, and not the embedded video’s upload date. How did you achieve this? Thank you.

    Hi, i want to show last update date/time but of the entire web. How can i do this?

    Responder

20. Andy Trigg

    By the way I preferred not to have the time displayed, which I think is completely unecesssary so I deleted the following –
    at ‘. $updated_time .’

    I hope I did it right, it seems to work OK.

    Responder

21. Andy Trigg

    Excellent. This works great on my site. I too update articles all the time. Constantly improving them. I’m just completely rewriting and improving every article from day 1. Now instead of it showing my article is 10 years old people can see it has recently been updated.

    i would also like to know will this preserve seo and shows updated date in search engines??

23. Jason G.

    One question I have: After pasting in the function in the article, I noticed that only my home page displayed the updated date / time. What if I do not want it to run on the home page? I tried adding an additional condition, ! is_home(). That did not work as it still showed up. Is there a way to only display this on posts (and not on any pages). Nothing has worked so far. Thanks for any help!

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Jason,

      You can try the second method and add the code directly to each template where you want the updated date to be displayed.

    If you update the post, will it go out in RSS feed again? I assume no?

    Responder

25. Roger

    The code that you display in this article shows the last updated date only but with no text explaining what that displayed date is in the post. It shows it like this:

    March 4th, 201701:29

    That is not very useful to my readers. Why won’t it display the $custom_content of line 7 of the code?

    Hello WPBeginner Team,

    Can you please state your SEO point of view about displaying last updated date instead of published date?
    I have just successfully applied the changes and my blog posts are showing last updated date.

    What would be your opinion? Is it better to show last updated rather than published?

    Hello sir ,

    I wanna know that is there any way to find out when a article was published first time ??

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Most sites show the publish date instead of last updated date. However, if a site does not show it, then you can still try viewing the source code. They may or not have a meta tag for published date and time.

    Can you recommend a plugin that accomplishes this?

    Also, if I simply type “Last updated on XXXX”, will search engines recognize this and give appropriate credit for the freshness of the content?

    Responder

35. Milt Klingsporn

    The plugin “Last Modified Timestamp” seems to get the same results. I added it to a widget in the footer. Now that date the page was updated is shown.
    And I didn’t have to enter any code in any of the files.

    Responder

    • Hardhik K Chitalia

      Code is always better than plugin bro. Code will not slow down your site, but plugins will.

      Responder

      • WPBeginner Support

        Not exactly true. Plugins are code too, and the functions file where users usually paste code also acts as a plugin.

        • Roger

          Wow this is new. I always thought using code was better than adding a plugin any day. Guess I was wrong – at least to a certain extent. I will say tho that you really have to watch out installing slow or badly coded plugins because they have been proven to cause security issues, which is one big reason why I tend to stay away from them as much as possible.

41. Damith

    I have a question.

    Assume that I have written a post in 2014-01-01.

    Then, a person has copied enter article on 2014-02-01 and paste it own his blog.

    I updated one or two line in 2014-03-01.

    Then what happens?

    I mean, Is Google think my article is copied article and copied article is original article? ( Because now date of my article is 2014-03-01 and copied article date is 2014-02-01).

    Your reply is highly appreciated.

    Responder

43. TecBrat

    I did it a little bit differently, but it is the same concept. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    For the twentyten theme, you edit the functions.php file, replacing the contents of the twenty_ten_posted_on() function with the following code:
    $verb=’Posted’;
    $postdate = get_the_date();

    $u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
    $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
    if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
    $verb=’Updated’;
    $postdate=get_the_modified_time(‘F jS, Y’);
    }
    echo ‘<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">’.$verb.’ on</span>
    <a href="’.get_permalink().’" rel="bookmark">
    <span class="entry-date">’.$postdate.'</span></a>’;

    echo ‘ <span class="meta-sep">by</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="’.get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ).’"
    title="’.esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘View all posts by %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), get_the_author() ) ).’">’.get_the_author().'</a></span>’;

44. Barzrul

    This code doesn’t work for me. Had tried put in the theme but nothing showed up.

    Responder

45. Adriano

    The code is missing the most important part: else …

    the code compares the creation date of the update date, whichever is later then insert the date of update, but if the post does not have an update would not display anything, at least in my case.

    so it would be useful to add a:
    else the_time (‘F jS, Y’);

    It’s me again:-) just another question: if I change to the “last updated on” date, the order in which my posts appear in my homepage will change?

    Thanks again for your help!
