    Dear Enfold team,

    I have a question which is probably quite easy to answer for you – I tried searching the board though and couldn’t find a solution.

    I’m using a php snippet which inserts the last updated date of single posts, if the updated date differs from the publishing date.

    This is the snippet:

    function wpds_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 && is_single() ) { 
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time('j. F Y');
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time('G:i'); 
$custom_content .= '<p class="last-updated">Zuletzt aktualisiert am '. $updated_date . ' um '. $updated_time .'</p>';  
} 
 
    $custom_content .= $content;
    return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpds_last_updated_date' );

    Everything works fine on “regular” blog pages, like here – the updated date is inserted between my social sharing buttons and the first paragraph:
    updated date 1

    But when I use the avia page builder for blog postings (which I love to do for complex layouts), the updated date gets inserted right before the first element:
    avia blog posting

    This updated info is really important to me – any chance to change the insertion position on avia postings?

    greetings,
    Ritchie

    Hey datadirt,
    We can move it with some javascript, but the issue is that the javascript will want to move it for all pages, not just the pages you built with the advanced layout builder.
    I couldn’t find a way to tell the script which page was which, and the pages share all of the same classes. Yet I my tests I didn’t find any issues with doing it this way. But I wanted you to keep an eye out for it.

    So, the first step is to add this code on the pages you build with the advanced layout builder, where you want the “last-updated” to show:

    <div class="lastupdated"></div>

    Then add this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

    function custom_last_updated_script(){
  ?>
  <script>
  jQuery(window).load(function(){
  jQuery( ".last-updated" ).appendTo( ".lastupdated" );
  });
  </script>
  <?php
  }
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_last_updated_script');

    The default post pages will not have the correct class, so any errors will occur there, but in my tests I found no errors.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Dear Mike,

    thank you very much!!! I could never have come up with this solution – that’s a genius idea, it works brilliantly.

    Again, thanks a lot!

    greetings from Vienna,
