Hey guys,
I already changed this but it’s not perfect yet.
I just want to add that I would like to see an update for this in a future version of the theme, to make things simple and to work across all areas of the site.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks
Hello Jessie,
Please check the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-make-this/ and try to implement the last modified date as my explanation. Please notice that further you will need to do some adjustments with CSS code for better result and is you are not aware of these, consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry! Please notice that all of these requests involves custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin. I changed it, but I’m changing it back. Really, to have it show across the entire site, requires changing a lot of files code everytime the theme gets updated. And even then it doesn’t display like it should. So I’m just leaving it as normal.
Can you please just get confirmation from the developers if they are working on implementing this in a future update? I’ve seen responses about a year old that it is added to a list of features. From the search results in the forum it seems like it is one of the most requested features.
Thanks
It just makes sense to me that a theme that is classified under the news category would place emphasis on displaying posts with relevant timestamps.
Hello Jessie,
Until now, this is the only solution in this regard. In a future update, it is possible, but we cannot say for sure if it gets done in the next update because we have a big list of fixes, improvements, and suggestions to implement. It’s hard to filter them and select which one gets implemented now and which one gets postponed. The developers decide if it gets done or not, though.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi @jessie,
You can use this after <div class="td-post-content"> on the line 40/41 (loo-single.php):
<div class="td-module-meta-info">Last update: <?php the_modified_date('j F, Y'); ?></div>
*is not so hard like the previous topic and when you make another update you’ll need to add only this line.
I know that is a botched job but works prety well. Will appear above the featured image.
You can change if you want the date format, here more examples
Indeed, maybe someday tagDiv will add it as default option
Hi @nairolf
Thank you for trying to help me. That’s kind of you. I hope you’ve eaten something by now 🙂
What I would like to happen is, for the updated date to show on the categories and the “latest articles” sections too.
It would also be great if when an article gets updated that it will move to the top of the “latest articles”
I think the above code shows the updated date in the search engine results?
Adding the codes to loop-single.php doesn’t show the updated date on all types of posts. Example: I have a post with post template 5 that includes a review on it that doesn’t show the updated date but only the published date.
Hi Jessie,
I’ve implemented the how to display last modified time instead of published time on my blog http://www.techbuzz.in and also I’ve blogged about the same.
However, the effect of this has to be studied when NewsPaper theme is updated.
I’ve written about the benefits and problems with implementing ‘last_modified_time’.

Bloggers should use use this feature cautiously as mis-using it might attract penalty from Google.
Hope this helps.
