Do you want to enhance the presentation of your WordPress blog posts by displaying a clear indication of when they were last updated or published?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of how to implement this feature using the Astra theme.

Why Add a Last Updated or Published Text Message?

Clear communication with your audience is crucial, and providing information about when a post was last updated or published adds transparency to your content. It helps visitors understand the relevance and timeliness of the information they are reading.

How to Add Last Updated or Published Meta to Blog Posts

To implement this feature, make sure you have Astra theme installed and activated on your website. Then, you can follow the below steps to add Last Updated or Published Text Message Before the Date.

  • Access your WordPress dashboard.
  • Navigate to Appearance -> Customize -> Blog -> Single Post.
  • Click on the arrow next to Post Title.
  • Locate the Date module under Meta.
  • Click the arrow to choose between Published or Last Updated.
  • After selecting the option, save the changes.

Now, when you visit your blog post, you’ll notice the post metadata displays a Published or Last Updated text string along with the last modified date. This customization adds a valuable layer of information for your readers, improving their overall experience on your site.
