# Published Data and Modified Date

 * Hi, I hope someone can help me.
 * I wanted to display a modified date when there is a post revision. Otherwise,
   show only the published date if there is no modification. Playing with the code
   below shows the last modified data even though there is no post revisions.
 * How can I make it to show Published Date only when no revisions? The code doesn’t
   seem to work even using isset.
 *     ```
       /* Replaces same named function in /inc/blog/blog-config.php */
       function astra_post_date()
       {
        $format = apply_filters('astra_post_date_format', '');
        $published = esc_html(get_the_date($format));
        $modified = esc_html(get_the_modified_date($format));
   
       $output = '<p class="posted-on">';
       if (!empty($modified)) {
       $output .= 'Last Modified: <span class="updated" ';
       $output .= 'itemprop="dateModified">' . $modified . '</span>';
       } else {
       $output .= 'Published: <span class="published" ';
       $output .= 'itemprop="datePublished">' . $published;
       $output .= '</span>';
       }
       $output .= '</p>';
   
        return apply_filters('astra_post_date', $output);
       }
       ```

 * Check if $published and $modified are the same or not. All posts have a modified
   date, even if there are no revisions.
