I checked the button for showing the last updated date instead of the published date. It is showing the last updated date in the homepage modules https://ibb.co/QM5yR4r (bottom left corner, post- sites like Afdah, Last Updated 25 March) but it’s showing the same old published date in the post’s page. https://ibb.co/jwMZfwk.
I want the last updated date to be shown on both the post’s as well as SERP’s. How do I do that?
Hi,
I think that you only enable the option from them panel -> https://i.imgur.com/XUi5Cos.png this is only for the blocks and modules that are displaying on homepage.
If you want to use the modified date on post on responsive version of Newspaper theme ( not mobile theme plugin ) you need to use a single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library, because this option is only on templates from cloud, and set the single post modified date element using tagDiv Composer

After that you need to set the single post template on your posts, you can check our video tutorials for this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1R3j1QYod0 -> https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
okay, but I can code it too. Where can I find this file td-pot-date? I checked the single.php file but I couldn’t find it.
Hi,
If you do not want to use cloud templates , then you can find the code for date here wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php -> https://i.imgur.com/RAHKvFw.png this will affect all the post templates and modules, or you can try individual on each post style you are using -> wp-content/plugins/td-standard-pack/Newspaper/parts/single/loop-single-1.php -> https://i.imgur.com/oaDbXCY.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
I also want to stop published date from showing on google searches and have modified date displayed instead. I had this working fine until I updated to the latest version of newspaper theme and I cant remember what I did a few years back to get it working. Please help.
I have had a look at https://i.imgur.com/RAHKvFw.png wht do I do then to make the change?
Sorry to post again but to be clear what I’d like is the exact line of code to put and where to put it so that I have ONLY modified date showing on all posts. Thanks!
Hi,
Please notice that we do not recommend the changes in theme files, these can damage and will be lost when you’ll make a theme update, if you need to use some code inside the them files you can use a child theme.
Also please note that there is no need to make changes in them files for this option, now our theme now has a last modified date for posts, if you use single post templates from tagDiv Cloud Library and edit it with tagDiv Composer – http://prntscr.com/nqygjo
The default publish date element should be removed, and the modified date entered in the post template. Google should pick this up eventually.
Also this option is available on blocks and modules too -> https://i.imgur.com/BE71ldj.png
Thank you for your understanding!

https://paste.pics/6715030ff7db888554d41e87cdac0036
But on google search the same article still shows published post
https://paste.pics/812b42d6d473e2e09c4340cc923c6b8a
How can I correct this since it means that readers see the article as outdated! Please help
Hi,
If you changed the post date to modified date -> https://i.imgur.com/gvpj466.png, then you need to as google to re-index your posts with the new status.

-> https://www.reliablesoft.net/force-google-crawl-a-site/#force-site-reindex

Let me know the results after the post is re-indexed.
Thank you!
