Noi di WPBeginner mostriamo la data di ultima modifica invece della data di pubblicazione originale per tutti i nostri articoli. Riteniamo che sia una cattiva idea rimuovere le date dagli articoli del vostro blog WordPress. Se utilizzate la data di ultima modifica, allora potreste voler mostrare sul vostro sito un elenco degli articoli aggiornati di recente. In questo articolo vi mostreremo come visualizzare un elenco di articoli aggiornati di recente in WordPress.
Ogni volta che si aggiorna un articolo, WordPress memorizza la data e l’ora dell’aggiornamento nella tabella dei post come data dell’ultimo aggiornamento. Vi mostreremo come creare una query personalizzata di WordPress per elencare gli ultimi articoli aggiornati.
Copiate e incollate questo codice in un plugin specifico per il sito o nel file functions.php del tema.
function wpb_lastupdated_posts() {
// Query Arguments
$lastupdated_args = array(
'orderby' => 'modified',
'ignore_sticky_posts' => '1'
);
//Loop to display 5 recently updated posts
$lastupdated_loop = new WP_Query( $lastupdated_args );
$counter = 1;
$string .= '<ul>';
while( $lastupdated_loop->have_posts() && $counter < 5 ) : $lastupdated_loop->the_post();
$string .= '<li><a href="' . get_permalink( $lastupdated_loop->post->ID ) . '"> ' .get_the_title( $lastupdated_loop->post->ID ) . '</a> ( '. get_the_modified_date() .') </li>';
$counter++;
endwhile;
$string .= '</ul>';
return $string;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
//add a shortcode
add_shortcode('lastupdated-posts', 'wpb_lastupdated_posts');
Questo è tutto. Ora, se volete visualizzare gli ultimi articoli aggiornati nei template del vostro tema, potete usarlo in questo modo:
<?php if (function_exists(wpb_lastupdated_posts)) : wpb_lastupdated_posts(); endif; ?>
Per visualizzare gli ultimi aggiornamenti negli articoli, nelle pagine e nei widget di WordPress, potete usare lo shortcode [lastupdated-posts].
Esistono diversi modi per ordinare gli articoli in WordPress. Oltre all’ordinamento crescente, decrescente e casuale, è possibile visualizzare gli articoli in base alla data di scadenza. Con questo articolo, ora è possibile mostrare gli articoli in base all’ora di ultima modifica.
Come lo usereste sul vostro sito? Visualizzate la data di pubblicazione originale o la data di ultima modifica? Fatecelo sapere lasciando un commento qui sotto.

Hi,
i modified the code from “modified” to “date”. Then i noticed, that $lastupdated_loop->have_posts() is limited to the number of last posts which is presented on the main page. What is to do to get an (independent) number of f.e. 50 last posts? Instead of 6 as stored in the wp settings?
WPBeginner Support
You should be able to change from line 12 of the code the section ‘&& $counter < 5' and change the 5 to the number of posts you want to show.

Thank you, you can be sure, that this was the first thing i did. But notice that when you change the number in your code it is without result. Write f.e. ‘&& $counter <20' – this does not work as there is f.e. 6 in the wordpress settings. So the question is how to overwrite those settings temporarily or to find any other solution that works without corresponding to the max-posts-per-page settings in wordpress.
WPBeginner Support
With your theme overriding the query that way, you could try adding a comma to the end of line 6 and on the next line add ‘posts_per_page’ => 20 to work on overriding your theme’s posts per page.

I want to show the list of the Latest updated Products, instead of Posts. is it possible? How?
WPBeginner Support
You would want to check with your eCommerce plugin for what options they would recommend as they normally have a widget or similar option.

How can I list more than 5 , say 30 post, recently modified post ?
WPBeginner Support
If you are using the code from this article, you would change the 5 to a 30 for that

Thank you for the instructions. That was exactly what I was looking for! Finally I can show the latest updates in my sidebar.

How do you include only updated posts and exclude pages?

Hi,
It works well, but it does not respect the content permissions of the page. It turns all the content visible to anybody…

Hi,
I followed you ‘How to Create a Custom WordPress Widget’, including ‘Creating a Site-Specific WordPress Plugin’ and that works perfectly. Great tutorial as I now have the ‘Hello world’ text displaying as a sidebar.
But this one has me completely stumped. I followed the tutorial as best I could but it just displays my ‘Hello world’ text, never any list of updated posts.
Where in my custom plugin file do I put the function wpb_lastupdated_posts()? Where do I put the ‘add_shortcode’ and where do I put the ‘if (function_exists(wpb_lastupdated_posts)) : ‘ statement?
Many thanks,
Des

How can i keep thumbnail of post when i keep it in widget ?
Benedito Carneiro
I created one site-specific plugin like you teached in your article What, Why, and How-To’s of Creating a Site-Specific WordPress Plugin, inserted function wpb_lastupdated_posts in the plugin, but had to add this line to the plugin to make text-widget shortcode work:
add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);
WPBeginner Support
Great, thanks for sharing.

Thanks much, this article saved me. Code is working perfectly….

Installed the code as stated. When using the short code- I add it to the bottom of the post. but when view the code- it puts the information on the top of the post. weird.
WPBeginner Support
@Tommy, thanks for notifying us. We have updated the code. Please use the new code and it will resolve the issue.

Hello
Is it possible to have the last modificated page too?
Many thx
Marceli
Same request here. I’m interested in listing recently updated Pages + showing the last_modified date. Ideally with some excerpt or number of characters from page.
jerik
Great code, but is there anyway to get this exact same function but based on comments made by specific user (admin) and list the most recent comment made as the top of the threads in the list?
Thanks!
Alberto Aguilar
Hi… great post…. Yet I was wondering if you could give me a hand on something: I need to take the picture and title of the last three published posts and arrange them in some kind of Gallery (Just to show the latest three published articles, Any idea if there’s a plugin for that, I assume I can use the code you just placed above, but Im not quite sure on the DB structure)
Thanks in advance… =)

Hi, how do I add code to display the category and the user who made the update?

I do not know how to change the office location address on my WordPress web site. Try as I may, I cannot reach it to change it. http://www.mastheadpa.ca I would appreciate simple and straight answer. I can do most of the upkeep but that address change eludes me and i have not seen the key in the WP information and tutorials. help.
WPBeginner Support
@Pierre your office location is stored inside a widget. Inside your WordPress admin area, go to Appearance » Widgets. On your right hand column you will see a list of widgets currently in use on your site. Look for Footer Widget Area and there you will see Get in Touch widget which you can edit and save your changes.

Hi, love this article but I don’t quite get what is meant to be updated when you mention ‘use it like this:
1
Which file is this?
Steve
WPBeginner Support
Some users might want to display last updated posts into different templates of their WordPress themes. Those users can use this code to add it. Other users can use the shortcode to add it in their posts, pages, and widgets.

Instead of using
$counterfor your loop, why don’t you just use the'posts_per_page'attribute on theWP_Queryargs ?Mine goes like this:
$lastupdated_args = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘modified’,
‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1,
‘posts_per_page’ => 5
);
Also, when I try the above code, it only give me one last modified post (not five as it should be).
Wonder why …
Mary
I love your articles but this one is way over my head. Are there any plugins for this?
Sorry but I dont know the “innards” of the website and have broken my site when I tried a few things.
It is a great idea though.Thanks for all you great work. Mary
Rudd
The code above is actually a ‘plugin’. Simply copy and paste the first code in functionality plugin. Then, there are two ways to display the list of posts, either using template tag or the easiest, using [lastupdated-posts] shortcode.
Tommy
yes. but why does it add the content above the post wen using it as a short code?
tommy
I want the content- then the shortcode info.
