Post updated time

Hello,

To do it, you need to use OceanWP child theme. Copy the meta.php file from the OceanWP > partials > entry and OceanWP > partials > single folder into your child theme with the same path. Now open the meta.php file from the copied folder and replace the get_the_date() function with the the_modified_time() function.

Do you mean that I can achieve it simply by replacing “the get_the_date” with “the_modified_time”? in those two files?

Yes, but after copying the files into the child theme otherwise it will be lost after the theme updates.

I see thank you so much! Also I want to ask if CSS code will be lost after the theme updates?

Thank you for reading.

If you added the code in the child theme or Customise > Custom CSS section, then no problem.

I see thank you so much for your help!

You’re welcome!

Dear developers,

After I have done make the change by copy the meta php file from the parent theme to the child theme and replaced the get_the_date() function with the the_modified_time() function, the date display is not work. It does not show the last modified date and it only shows time now. What should I do in order to make the last modified date displays in post and in the meta info?

Thank you for reading and I really appreciate your help.

Yours faithfully,
Hugo Sum

Did you activate the child theme? It should work.

Thank you so much for your help!

I think the problem lies on the_modified_time. When I replace the code with the_modified_date, it works perfectly

Glad to hear that it is fixed!
