So friends lets start the journey to show your latest updated date in the post title below.

Part-1

By The Simple Edit Plugin

Description

This plugin creates a new Genesis settings page that allows you to modify the post-info (byline), post-meta, and footer area on any Genesis theme. Using text, shortcodes, and HTML in the textboxes provided in the admin screen, these three commonly modified areas are easily editable, without having to learn PHP or write functions, filters, or mess with hooks.

• Install Genesis Simple Edits and activate it.
• On the side bar click on Genesis >> Simple Edits.

Now it shows you:

Entry Meta(above Content):

[pre]Last updated on March 29, 2018 By M Raaz 1 Comment [/pre]

Now you have to modify the Entry Meta to:

[php]Last updated on August 19, 2020 By M Raaz 1 Comment [/php]

All are done in the genesis theme.

Part-2

By Code Snippet

By the way if anyone not prefer to use plugin, they require to do some edit in function.php file of their genesis theme to get this Last Update on.

N. B.: Before you edit the function.php, please make sure backup. Otherwise you may get loss by file corrupt.

• Go to Themes in Network (for Multisite)  >> Editor.
• Add the following code at the end of function.php and click update.

[php]add_filter( ‘genesis_post_info’, ‘sp_post_info_filter’ );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
$post_info = ‘Last Updated on August 19, 2020 by M Raaz 1 Comment ‘;
return $post_info;
}}[/php]
