How can I change the published date to "Last Updated"?

Hi there,

How can I change date for single posts like here: https://varrojoanna.com/starting-your-own-business/
to display Last Updated… instead of the publishing date?

Thank you,
Joanna

Please open to edit the single.php file.
Find this code:-

Thanks Mohammad – Marking as resolved.

Hi there,

I have checked one more thing and I see now that all that we changed was actually the text. But when I updated some posts today the date remains the publishing date. How can I change it or add at least below the date when the post was also updated?

Thank you,

Joanna

In that case you need to update the publish date inside the post.

Wouldn’t that rearrange all my posts by its date?

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Yes it will. Don’t see any way to do it without a code customization.
Maybe it’s better to hide that date and you can place the text at the top of the content “Last Updated September 26, 2016 ”

OK, I understand now. Thank you. I have found another solution in case if someone will have the same problem. I have installed this plugin and it added the last updated note to each post automatically: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-updated-date/

Thank you for your time,

Joanna

Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Wasn’t aware of that.
