Last Modified instead publish date on blog post and lesson

[Giuseppe]

Hi,

There is a way to show Last Modified date instead the publish date?

[Giuseppe]

@vapvarun can you help me?

I think this could be a nice feature for boss theme

It can be easily modified inside the single.php

add following function inside child theme functions.php

function buddyboss_entry_meta_modified( $show_author = true, $show_date = true, $show_comment_info = true ) {
		// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
		$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'boss' ) );

		// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
		$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'boss' ) );

		$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark" class="post-date fa fa-clock-o"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>', esc_url( get_permalink() ), esc_attr( get_the_modified_time() ), esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ), esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
		);

		$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>', esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ), esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'boss' ), get_the_author() ) ), get_the_author()
		);

		if ( function_exists( 'get_avatar' ) ) {
			$avatar = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">%2$s</a>', esc_url( get_permalink() ), get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'email' ), 55 )
			);
		}

		if ( $show_author ) {
			echo '<span class="post-author">';
			echo $avatar;
			echo $author;
			echo '</span>';
		}

		if ( $show_date ) {
			echo $date;
		}

		if ( $show_comment_info ) {
			if ( comments_open() ) :
				?>
				<!-- reply link -->
				<span class="comments-link fa fa-comment-o">
					<?php comments_popup_link( '<span class="leave-reply">' . __( '0 comments', 'boss' ) . '</span>', __( '1 comment', 'boss' ), __( '% comments', 'boss' ) ); ?>
				</span><!-- .comments-link -->
				<?php
			endif; // comments_open()
		}
	}

copy single.php inside the child theme and replace line 24 inside /boss-child/single.php

<?php buddyboss_entry_meta(); ?>

with

<?php buddyboss_entry_meta_modified(); ?>

Hi @peppe-sapienza
Above will work for blog post and for lesson it will need edits inside the boss-sensei template file.

Boss-Sensei template files are in revamp process, please wait for next update to get it stable
Then i will guide you on this also
to make these edits
get_the_date() -replaced with- get_the_modified_date()
get_the_time() -replaced with- the_modified_time()

So it’s better wait the new update before do this change?

Hi @peppe-sapienza, It was the quick fix what you need currently with Last Modified date. I will discuss about it to add this feature in our theme as well.
