the_modified_time() WordPress Function
The the_modified_time() Wordpress function allows you to display the last time a post was modified. This can be useful for showing your readers when you last updated a post, or for displaying how often a post is updated.
the_modified_time( string $format = '' ) #
Display the time at which the post was last modified.
Parameters
- $format
(string)(Optional) Format to use for retrieving the time the post was modified. Accepts 'G', 'U', or PHP date format. Defaults to the 'time_format' option.
Default value: ''
More Information
If you want to display both the modified time and the creation time, you may want to use an if statement to avoid showing the same time/date twice.
For example:
if ( get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time()) )
