Show the 「Updated」 Post Date

Show the 「Updated」 Post Date

In some cases, you may wish to show the date your post was last updated instead of the published date.
We can do this with a little CSS:

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

.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
display: none;
}
If you wish to display some text before the date, you can do this:

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

Show the 「Updated」 Post Date in Header Element

To show the updated post date in Header Element, add the PHP snippet below to create the shortcode:

function post_modified_date() {
return get_the_modified_date();
}
add_shortcode( 'modified_date', 'post_modified_date' );

Then add [modified_date] to the Header Element content.
