    I am curious on how I can add a timestamp to a page, so it informs the user when the information has been updated? I would like to place it in the header area of my side https://bladeelectionresults.com/.

    Can this be done?
    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Please add following code to bottom of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance > Editor

    // Display update time
function wp_get_updated_date(){
	$u_time = get_the_time('U'); 
	$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); 
	if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { 
		echo "<p>Last modified on "; 
		the_modified_time('F jS, Y'); 
		echo " at "; 
		the_modified_time(); 
		echo "</p> "; } 
	}
add_shortcode( 'update_time', 'wp_get_updated_date' );

    Then add following shortcode to display it

    [update_time]

    If you would like to add a widget area to header and to display it there, please refer to this post – https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/header/#adding-a-header-widget-area

    Yigit:

    I found a function-enfold-php. Is that the place I add the “//Display update time” code?

    Also, If I don’t add a widget area to the header, where will the time stamp by displayed?

    Thanks,

    I found the function.php file and added the code you recommended.

    I then created a header widget, adding this text in the header widget — Updated at [update_time].

    However, the timestamp does not show. Could it be located under the logo? I did something wrong. Suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I updated the code in bottom of functions.php file to following one

    //--------------------------------
// Header widget area
//--------------------------------

add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}

// Display update time
function wp_get_updated_date(){
	$u_time = get_the_time('U'); 
	$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U'); 
	if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) { 
		echo "<p class='update-time'>Updated at "; 
		the_modified_time('F jS, Y'); 
		echo " at "; 
		the_modified_time(); 
		echo "</p> "; } 
	}
add_shortcode( 'update_time', 'wp_get_updated_date' );

    Then i added following code to bottom of Quick CSS in Enfold theme options > General Styling

    p.update-time {
    width: 335px;
    margin: auto;
}

    Please review your website :)
