    Hi, I have been a WordPress user for a long time, so some of my articles are quite old, but still usefull for my readers. I update them regularly. That’s why I would like to add the last modified date to the publish date. The code to do so should be:
    `$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> “; }

    But where (in which file and in which line) should I add this code? Preferably the published date with the ‘clock-icon’ should be published first and then on the same line the modified date.

    Thanks,
    With kind regards
    Nico

    You don’t need to edit the code for it. Also on the update of the theme, all the edits get lost.

    There is another way. Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste the below CSS code

    .posted-on .published{
    display: none;
    }

    .posted-on .updated{
    display: inline;
    }
