Modified date on post without using Cloud Templates

Posted in: Newspaper

Before the update I was able to show the modified date on certain templates. For example, on single_template_7.php I added this file to my child theme and modified it with the-modified-date.

Is there a way to still do this, either to a particular template or to all the posts.

Hi,

That will not work anymore with a child theme. After the 9.7 update many of the theme files were moved in the tagDiv composer, due to the new Envato requirements

As a consequence the child theme is quite limited now, only a few theme files can still be used in it.
What you can do is to make those changes in theme files wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/parts/single/single_template_7.php

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.

The only problem with modifying the Plugin is that after an update it will be removed.

Please can I request that in the next update an option to show the modified date when updating a post.

Also, whilst modifying the plugin will change the modified date, it does not change on mobile and it still shows the published date, which could explain why google is still showing the original published date.

Is there a way to show the modified date also on mobiles.

Hi,

I can note this suggestion in our suggestions list, unfortunately this is all I can do.
The date from mobile theme need to be change in tagDiv Composer plugin, in mobile files -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/mobile/single.php

Thank you!

Thank you. I would be very happy if you could try and get the modified date option included in the next update, as most news websites would want to show that the article has been updated, and this would help with google rankings.

It is not practical to edit the files every time there is an update.

Thanks for your help
