It's time for your daily dose of Wordpress Wisdom! In today's quick tutorial I'll be showing you how you can easily display the "Last Updated" date for your posts using some simple CSS code! In the past, I had used a simple plugin for this, but as I was looking through the Generate Press documentation I found some simple code you can add that makes needing a plugin a thing of the past!

Let's dive into the video and I'll show you how!

Here's the CSS code you'll be copying and pasting into your Customizer:

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

.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
display: none;
}

.posted-on .updated:before {
content: "Last Updated ";
}

As always, feel free to share this video to anyone needing help with this. If you have any Wordpress related questions that you'd like to see me create a tutorial for send me a private message or leave me a message on my profile.

Great wisdom Bro!!

πŸ‘πŸ‘

You're very welcome!

Keep em coming buddy!!

Thanks for this,did not knew that one 😊

Glad you enjoyed this!

Cool, Eric!

These days, for those of us who do not have a programming background, AI is helping create the code to replace a variety of plugins. 😎

100%. GPT is great at coming up with coding solutions for just about any theme!

That's awesome and good to know. Perhaps I should give GPP another shot, though I have the lifetime premium package.

Abie

Hi Abie

You should be able to add this css to most any theme. 😎

Frank 🎸

Absolutely. But I considered using the GPP on a site, as I had forgotten it and fell in love with Blocksy. Thanks!

Abie

There are a ton of great themes out there. There’s nothing wrong with having a favorite. Every theme has its unique customizations. The point of these tutorials is to show just how much you can do even with a theme that is considered β€œboring” at first glance. It’s all about getting your hands dirty!

Hi Abie

Yeah, I use GPP, too. It's super easy to configure, lightweight & fast, and easily customized for any use. The Pro version has a totally awesome template library. 😎

Frank 🎸

I know I have the GP Premium lifetime license, but Blocksy is far superior. I used it in the past, but I think it has advanced progressively.

I appreciate your notes here, Frank!

Abie

You're welcome, Abie. 😎

I adore the 'getting hands dirty' part β€”that is an absolute favorite. I also appreciate what you do.

Abie

Thanks again, Frank! And it is always a pleasure. :)

Likewise, Abie! 😎😎

Keep rocking the house, Frank! 🎸
Abie

No shortage of guitars to do that, Abie! Lol 🀣

Frank 🀘🎸

I know, lol. I have seen the images, lol.
I am wondering if you have newer guitars since that post.
Abie

Yeah, I'm building another one, but I'm waiting for someone to "Plek" the guitar neck for me.

Check it out!:

Haha, I guess it's a bit of an addiction 🀣, but they all play and sound different.

Frank 🎸

Thanks for this resource; I'll have a look.
I know you would; it's in your DNA, lol. There's nothing wrong with that - as long as you get pleasure from it, it's all well and good.
Keep it going.
Abie

Yeah, that's a good way to put it, Abie! 🧬

I think the base pairs of my DNA are held together by guitar strings! Lol πŸ˜‚

Frank 🎸

Sounds like you've got music running through your veins! Just be careful not to sneeze – you might start strumming! 🎸
Abie

Hahaha, it's happened before, Abie! πŸ˜ƒ

If you cut me, I'll bleed sixteenth notes! ♬♬ πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Frank 🀘🎸

Holy sheet music, Frank!
We'd better bubble-wrap you before you become a walking symphony! I'm afraid to even look at you funny - one sneeze might trigger a full Mozart concerto! Should we call you Frankie "Fortissimo" now?
Just don't ask for a "treble clef-sticker" instead of a band-aid! ♬♬ πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
Abie

Lol, you're really funny, Abie! I love that! πŸ‘πŸ‘ πŸ˜ƒ

You have to be awesome at parties, right? πŸ₯³

My mother was like that, too. Wonderful stuff! 😎

Frank 🎸

Did you say parties? I love parties; I am the same as Mom, the center of it all. I ran a couple of "Stout with Abie" meetings, which went great. I included a few word-of-mouth promos - we have a lot of activities where we are, and folks often market without really marketing as a manner of speech. So it is a nice gesture to be able to return favors in kind. I like stouts; it works magic and is similar to "Beer with Kyle." Of course, there are also social parties; those are really wild, a town that doesn't sleep. We often pull each other's legs but within limits and run some pranks, lol. What can I tell you... There are also the Sea Urchin parties, lol. And whatever comes to mind, all ideas and thoughts are always welcome. Feel free to chime in! Not forgetting strawberry parties lolol πŸ“
It is nice to know. We have plenty of similarities, lol
Abie

Hi Abie

Yes, I agree that we are similar in many ways. 😎

Your activities sound spectacular. I know you put a lot of effort into what you do, so you deserve a great life! πŸ‘

I was raised in a very big, partying Italian family. They worked hard, but the main focus was on food and fun, which undoubtedly had a lot to do with shaping my personality.

Life is short, so we have to enjoy it all that we can, right? πŸ₯³ πŸ’―
