How To Display Last Updated Date of Post in Search Engine and WordPress

In This video, I will teach you how you can show the last updated/modified date of your WordPress post in search engines and on a blog post. 

This is a very easy tutorial. You need to follow the steps carefully and watch the complete video. 

Follow the steps below. 

1. Open your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go To appearance and then Theme file editor
3. Then go to the theme function file
4. Paste the following code at the bottom of the file
5. Hit Update file button

You are good to go now. Update any of your posts, and the updated date will appear on the post and reflect in the Google search engine.

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $output, $time_string ) {
    $time_string = 'Published on: %2$s';

    if ( get_the_date() !== get_the_modified_date() ) {
        $time_string = 'Last Updated on: %4$s';
    }

    $time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    return sprintf( '%s ',
        $time_string
    );
}, 10, 2 );
