Post updated date

Hi,

I have added a PHP function shown in a blog to my functions.php (child theme) to display last updated time to my blog posts. But it started showing the last updated time to my Home page. I tried a few codes to skip home page like if (is_page(2020)) return; but didn’t solve the issue. How can I only display this for posts?

Another thing; I want the last updated date to display in Google Results. What is the best way to do it? I saw this thread discussing that issue, but I couldn’t understand which one I should change.

The code I added to display updated time:
```
function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
$u_time = get_the_time('U'); 
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); 
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { 
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time('h:i a'); 
$custom_content .= '<p class="last-updated">Last updated on '. $updated_date . ' at '. $updated_time .'</p>';  
} 
 
    $custom_content .= $content;
    return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpb_last_updated_date' );
```

Hi again,

SO I found this support document from theme documentation. I changed my current code with this. It displayed Author name, category, published and updated date in bullet points. SO I changed the styling according to my knowledge. Given below. Do you this will do the trick. Currently, it’s displaying okay.

I will change it if it’s harmful.

// Add Last Modified Date to Single Blog Post Meta
function prefix_single_meta() {
	global $post;
	?>
		
		<p class="last-updated" <?php oceanwp_schema_markup( 'modified_date' ); ?>>Last updated on <span aria-hidden="true"><?php echo get_the_modified_date(); ?></p>
		<p class="last-updated"<?php oceanwp_schema_markup( 'publish_date' ); ?>> - Published on <i aria-hidden="true"></i><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></p>
	<?php
}
add_filter('ocean_blog_single_meta','prefix_single_meta');

function prefix_entry_meta() {
	?>
		<ul>
		<li<?php oceanwp_schema_markup( 'author_name' ); ?>><i aria-hidden="true"></i><?php echo the_author_posts_link(); ?></li>
		<li><i aria-hidden="true"></i><?php the_category( ' <span>/</span> ', get_the_ID() ); ?></li>
		<li<?php oceanwp_schema_markup( 'modified_date' ); ?>><span aria-hidden="true"><?php echo get_the_modified_date(); ?></li>
		<li<?php oceanwp_schema_markup( 'publish_date' ); ?>><i aria-hidden="true"></i><?php echo get_the_date(); ?></li>
        </ul>
	<?php
}
add_filter('ocean_blog_entry_meta','prefix_entry_meta');

Hello,

OceanWP has settings to display the modified date. Kindly go to Customize > Blog > Single or Entry > Elements Positioning and enable the modified date option.

Hi Amit,

Thanks man. I saw the option. So should I remove the code from functions.php? And is this enough for Google to display the updated date in search results.?

Really appreciate your help.
