White Space Mobile & Updated Post Date

Hi,

I have already mentioned this in a discussion on Envato – and have purchased further support to deal with these issues – 1 x issue and 1 x request as follows:

ISSUE-1:

On the site: https://searchgo.co mobile version – there is a problem with white space at the top of mobile pages – it doesn’t look good and ruins the experience. At first, Brogdan suspected it was an issue with ads – however, I removed ads and the issue still remains. I have now replaced ads and on the discussion mentioned again. Brogdan believes it is a CSS issue. Can I get this fixed?

REQUEST-2:

I had previously requested adding a modified date to posts and that it appears in the meta description as well so that in turns appears in search engines when I update an old post. There was one response before about changing the templates, but I don’t want to do that as I have already got sized images etc in each post, plus I didn’t understand the response. So, here is what I would like to do and a solution I found which if I use breaks Newspaper but supposedly the correct solution:

<br>

I did some research and came across this workaround (However, the problem is when I add the code to my child functions.php it works okay, but, it throws the date and words outside of the body to the left of the template body).

Here is the code:

function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) { $u_time = get_the_time('U'); $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { $updated_date = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y'); $updated_time = get_the_modified_time('h:i a'); $custom_content .= '<p class="last-updated">Last updated on '. $updated_date . ' at '. $updated_time .'</p>'; } $custom_content .= $content; return $custom_content; } add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpb_last_updated_date' );

Here is where I found the original article that references this code:

Hi Vlad,

Issue – 1 – mobile header
On the mobile, the problem still persists. It did not change it at all. PLease can you confirm on https://searchgo.co/signature-townhouse-hyde-park/ for example?

Request – 2 – date
I placed the code in the child functions.pho – see screenshot:
It works on the posting page – however, on the homepage, it shows above the images see screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/InCr8n2.png

Also, is there a way on the posting page that it can be darker or bold? SO that visitors notice that it was updated.

Here is the code in child theme functions: https://pasteboard.co/InCocUS.png

Thank you

Vincent

Hi Vlad, the problem still persists – the mobile still has white space at top, even though I moved the code to the other area. https://pasteboard.co/InDXq28.jpg

I do not know what you mean by activate it in functions – it is already activated as per screenshot and it doesn’t work as the problem is still there. https://pasteboard.co/InCocUS.png

Also, is there a way on the posting page that it can be darker or bold? SO that visitors notice that it was updated.

Thanks

Vincent

Hi, The problem is still there on mobile – you need to go into the site not homepage and see the top of the page it is a large white space.

The updated date is now hidden on the homepage, thanks. – maybe somebody else here can tell me how to make it bold on the single posts page.

Thanks for your help

Hi Vlad,

Okay, I am sending you admin details – I have also just upgraded to the latest version – however, all sidebars have disappeared and the updated text is no longer showing. It should have worked perfectly as there were not many files to replace and the site uses a child theme.

Email on the way – please would you also implement that ‘bold’ code as well, as I don’t want to fiddle with the site while it is broken with the sidebars.

Thanks
Vincent

Hi Vlad,

I think we are getting there – the dates look better now as bold so that visitors can see it has been updated per example: https://searchgo.co/travel-to-egypt/.

Will this appear in the meta description as being updated when indexed – for example in search engines will it appear under the old date or under the updated date?

Thanks

Vincent

Hi,

Almost 5 years on and I need to re-open this post 🙂
Now that the Newspaper theme has a way of showing the modified date I do not need the code any more to show the modified date. I removed it from the custom CSS, however, I cannot find it anywhere in the site. I tried going through the CPANEL file manager but still nothing. When I inspect it in Chrome it shows this:

<p class="last-updated">Last updated on March 1st, 2024 at 10:56 am</p> from this page: https://searchgo.co/internet-speeds/

it doesn’t look very nice as it’s under the menu on the home page. I would appreciate any advice to remove this.

Thank you

No need for a response. I found the issue. It was from the cache in a plugin. All good now, thanks
