Updated date

  • 1. How do I add “Last updated on” before the date?
    I have found many answers to this on the forum but they all use blocks and I use the classic editor.
    2. I am going to replace the published date with the updated date using the css I found on this forum:
    .posted-on .updated {
    display: inline-block;
    }

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

    My concern is that this might be considered as “hidden text” by Google. Is that the standard way to show the updated date instead of the published date?

  • Hi there,

    You can refer to this article to add the Last Updated text:

    The search engine crawler will only look for the <time> element with the datetime attribute to determine the recency of a particular article. Therefore, it would be better to display only a single date, which is the updated one.
