Post Modified Date

This will display the latest modified date of posts. It can be used on single post templates and also inside repeaters for showing how recent each post in the list is.

The first image is relative and the second is absolute.

Tutorial

1. Add → Code Block
2. Open PHP & HTML
3. Add one of these options or combine them to your liking

Relative to the current time, this will result in "Last modified 10 minutes ago", then "4 hours ago", "2 days ago" and so on.

<?php
	$modified_date = get_the_modified_date('U');
	$current_date = current_time('timestamp');
	$difference = human_time_diff($modified_date, $current_date);

	echo 'Last modified ' . $difference . ' ago';
?>

Absolute time, this will result in "Last modified February 10, 2021"

<?php
	echo 'Last modified ' . get_the_modified_date();
?>
