Sort by modified date

Hi,

just about to make my new website live, but have discovered the ‘latest’ sort works on date created. I really need to sort by modified date as that is how I monetise my website. I have researched the forums (https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/sort+modified/) but modifying the ‘oldest post’ does not appear to be having any effect.

Skilled PHP, so if this option is not there – please telly me the best way to modify the core of the theme and I’ll happily share any developments here.

Really important I am able to do this.

Many thanks for your support

Kevin

Hi,

There is something similar described in this topic that you can try
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/implemented-new-sort-most-popular-among-posts-of-last-7-days/
It would require to modify one of the existing sorting to display posts by modified date. Check the solution posted in the last part of the topic.

Thanks

I have tried both ways and it doesn’t work.

My homepage is: https://test.theblackpoolilluminations.info/

and I changed the header block to sort by modified as per the post, updated this post:

https://test.theblackpoolilluminations.info/about/the-lights/alices-garden-tableau/

and it doesn’t feature – help!

Hi – problem resolved.

Forgot I had created a child theme – made the updates there and it worked perfectly. A child theme may be a better way to go rather than modifying the core theme. Easy to forget which files you have updated.

Thanks for the help – Kevin
