by default displays the date when a post was published to your website visitors. Plus it adds the date when the post was last updated in the code – for SEO and Schema Markup.


If you want to display last updated date for the post to your visitors, use following custom code –
/** * Display only last modified date in the post metadata. * * @param String $output Markup for the last modified date. * @return void */ function your_prefix_post_date( $output ) { $output = ''; $format = apply_filters( 'astra_post_date_format', '' ); $modified_date = esc_html( get_the_modified_date( $format ) ); $modified_on = sprintf( esc_html( '%s' ), $modified_date ); $output .= '<span class="posted-on">'; $output .= '<span class="post-updated"> ' . $modified_on . '</span>'; $output .= '</span>'; return $output; } add_filter( 'astra_post_date', 'your_prefix_post_date' );
It hides the published date and makes updated date visible.
