Thanks for the reply

I am using genesis framework but so far I have managed to kept all my php edits in functions.php.

I would like the time to show in the comments where there is already a default date and time

One of my themes that I use is twenty fourteen though, its just most of the themes I use are Genesis. Aslo (I think) this has something to do with the wordpress core files so I was hoping 1 code snippet will work for all my child themes by putting it in function.php or an mu-plugin.

I should have been clearer, I’m not sure how to get the below code to work in functions.php because it is a snippet to replace another code in one of the template files.

<?php echo human_time_diff( get_comment_time('U'), current_time('timestamp') ) . ' ago'; ?>

I think adding the snippets will be theme specific and you might have to add them based on the theme. The wp-days-ago plugin might be of interest to you. You can check it out here.

Thanks for replying, I didn’t realise there was a plugin for it, i’ll give it a go.
