    Hey guys,

    I just found this thread: Change meta info of frontpage blog

    Unfortunately though I have no clue how this would apply to my current situation. I would like the blog to indicate when a post has been last updated instead of when it was first published.

    Basically I want it to be like this.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi Felix!

    Please edit config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider.php, find this code on line 366:

    $markup = avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'entry_time','echo'=>false));
						$output .= "<time class='slide-meta-time updated' $markup>" .get_the_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</time>";

    Replace it with:

    $markup = avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'entry_time','echo'=>false));
						$output .= "<time class='slide-meta-time updated' $markup>" .get_the_modified_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</time>";

    Cheers!

    @Ismael: thanks, that makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately nothing changed :-/

    Hi,

    Open /includes/loop-index.php and look for line 120:

    echo "<time class='date-container minor-meta updated' $markup>".get_the_time(get_option('date_format'))."</time>";

    Replace it by this:

    echo "<time class='date-container minor-meta updated' $markup>".get_the_modified_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</time>";

    Regards,
    Josue

    Thanks, that worked!

    I have two questions left:

    1. Will this change persist Enfold updates?

    2. Now it seems like the post was created on that day. Is it possible to display “Last edited on” instead of just the date?

    Hey!

    1. It won’t, if you use a Child theme however you can create a includes/loop-index.php (a copy of the original) in your Child theme directory and make the modification there.

    2. Replace the line for this:

    echo "<time class='date-container minor-meta updated' $markup> Last edited on ".get_the_modified_time(get_option('date_format'), $the_id)."</time>";

    Cheers!

    Thank you guys, it’s working now! However, after the update, the changes were lost :-/

    I’m not using a child theme, just Enfold. What’s the problem?

    Hey!

    That was expected, every time you update all the theme files gets replaced with the new ones, therefore losing any customization. That’s why i recommended using a Child theme.

    However you can just re-do the change, now it’s on line 126.

    Best regards,
    Josue

    yes, it should work.

    Feel free to open a new ticket, if you need help with it.
