    I have the pen and pen-child themes installed. I’m wondering if, in addition to the POSTED ON date, it is possible to include code to display the UPDATED ON date.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    Absolutely, try this CSS:

    #main .posted-on time.updated {
	display: inline-block !important;
	margin-left: 0.5rem;
}

    It can be added through Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.

    Hope it helps!

    PS: I think we can add this to the new update.

    @htmlpie It’s certainly heading in the right direction. Adding the CSS turns this…
    POSTED ON 14 SEPTEMBER 2020 \ BY BASIL \ FREENAS, PLEX

    …into this…

    POSTED ON 14 SEPTEMBER 2020 15 SEPTEMBER 2020 \ BY BASIL \ FREENAS, PLEX

    I was hoping to have it formated this way…

    POSTED ON 14 SEPTEMBER 2020 \ UPDATED ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2020 \ BY BASIL \ FREENAS, PLEX

    … but I suspect this is a more complex endeavour. I tried searching for the words POSTED ON in the PEN theme files, but came up with nada. I did find the word posted in the following files:

    1. assets/css/pen-content.css
    2. assets/css/pen-base.css
    3. assets/css/plugins/wp.woocommerce.css
    4. include/html.php

      html.php looked the most promising. I suspect I need to copy and modify a function from this file to the PEN-CHILD functions.php, but TL;DR.

      PS: I think we can add this to the new update.

      Yes, please! The PEN theme is my absolute favourite theme. Because it’s SO configurable, I’ve got a lot of control over how the theme looks. What would make it just perfect is the inclusion of the UPDATED ON field.

    Sure!

    In the meantime, you can add this to that CSS:

    #main .posted-on time.updated:not(.published):before {
	content: " Updated: ";	
}

    The workaround is brilliant! I would never have figured that out on my own. I would love to see this assimilated as an option in the next version of the PEN theme.

    Hi there,

    We have added this feature! It is under Appearance -> Customize -> Content -> Full Content View -> Content Date: Updated.
