How to Add Evergreen Last Modified Date for Posts and for SERP

added tag to allow for search on my service request.

Hello,

Yes I still need support.

As my support tix says, I am using a plugin that has deprecated and is not longer supported. I want to deactivate this plugin, but for the moment it is the only way I can get a Modified on date on blogs.

Secondly, I want to know how to use the Date Modified to my Google Serp and not the Date Posted. A google search on one of my ranking post shows a post date in 2014.

Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to getting started with your idea.

Hello Victoria,

I saw those article in my prior search before opening up this support tix.

Let’s work on Modified date on Blog first.

Please tell me where the enfold theme template tags is located. I could not find it when I looked before. I will need the code responsible for displaying the date and time.

Method 2: Add Last Updated Date in Theme Templates
This method requires you to edit specific WordPress theme files. Many WordPress themes now use their own template tags which define how these themes show post meta data like date and time.
Some themes also use content templates or template parts to display posts.
Few simpler themes will use single.php, archive.php, and other template files to show content and meta information.
You will be looking for the code responsible for displaying the date and time. You can then either replace that code with the following code, or add it right after your theme’s date and time code.
1
$u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
2
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
3
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
4
echo “<p>Last modified on “;
5
the_modified_time(‘F jS, Y’);
6
echo ” at “;
7
the_modified_time();
8
echo “</p> “; }

thanks

Hello, I need a little more detail and more help. I’d ask that you look at my question and answer it specifically. I asked:

Please tell me where the enfold theme template tags is located. I could not find it when I looked before. I will need the code responsible for displaying the date and time.

So I have enclosed the enfold single.php……. where is the date and time displayed in the code ???

This is the enfold single PHP where exactly is the date and time displayed in the code.

<?php
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) ){ die(); }

global $avia_config;

/*
* get_header is a basic wordpress function, used to retrieve the header.php file in your theme directory.
*/
get_header();

$title = __(‘Blog – Latest News’, ‘avia_framework’); //default blog title
$t_link = home_url(‘/’);
$t_sub = “”;

if(avia_get_option(‘frontpage’) && $new = avia_get_option(‘blogpage’))
{
$title = get_the_title($new); //if the blog is attached to a page use this title
$t_link = get_permalink($new);
$t_sub = avia_post_meta($new, ‘subtitle’);
}

if( get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), ‘header’, true) != ‘no’) echo avia_title(array(‘heading’=>’strong’, ‘title’ => $title, ‘link’ => $t_link, ‘subtitle’ => $t_sub));

do_action( ‘ava_after_main_title’ );

?>

<div class=’container_wrap container_wrap_first main_color <?php avia_layout_class( ‘main’ ); ?>’>

<div class=’container template-blog template-single-blog ‘>

<main class=’content units <?php avia_layout_class( ‘content’ ); ?> <?php echo avia_blog_class_string(); ?>’ <?php avia_markup_helper(array(‘context’ => ‘content’,’post_type’=>’post’));?>>

<?php
/* Run the loop to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
*
*/

get_template_part( ‘includes/loop’, ‘index’ );

//show related posts based on tags if there are any
get_template_part( ‘includes/related-posts’);

//wordpress function that loads the comments template “comments.php”
comments_template();

?>

<!–end content–>
</main>

<?php
$avia_config[‘currently_viewing’] = “blog”;
//get the sidebar
get_sidebar();

?>

</div><!–end container–>

</div><!– close default .container_wrap element –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
