I'm using the twenty ten theme and I want nothing more than "date modified" to show up in single posts to the right of "date posted" and "author" (to keep it simple I don't need the Author who modified it). Is there a simple code and where do I insert it.
I didn't include code or URL because it's universal.
Thanks
Mr.R.
edit functions.php of the theme;
close to the end, find:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
.....
.....change the function to something like:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
get_permalink(),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
get_the_date()
),
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>, date modified: %4$s',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
get_the_author(),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date() )
)
);
}

From the solving my own problems Dept.
In the single post editor (single.php) look for:
<div class="entry-meta"> <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
then add:
- Post updated on: <?php the_modified_date(); ?>
after the posted on tag to make:
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?> - Post updated on: <?php the_modified_date(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
to the right of the section, - Post updated on August 01, 2010 will appear (it's even remembers the date modified on all posts).
Thanks me!

tried it your way alchymyth:
<b>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting '{' in D:\Hosting\6120655\html\wp-content\themes\2010-weaver\2010functions.php on line 499</b>
Uh oh!
i worked from the original default TwentyTen - 2010-weaver might have some modification in the code that are no more compatible with the original TwentyTen -
use your idea, seems to work great.
no reason why the changes would have triggered an error (typo?):
the actual changes were only in this part:
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>, date modified: %4$s',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
get_the_author(),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date() )added this: , date modified: %4$s' after </span>
and this: , esc_attr( get_the_modified_date() ) after get_the_author()
(nothing complicated, and worked for TwentyTen )

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate your help. Do you have any suggestions as how I can recover my site? It's a hobby more than anything. Since the problem is with the theme, can I change it in file manager or something? Thanks in advance if you have any help. WPWeaver is a twenty ten child theme.
if you suspect that the error is caused just by 2010functions.php, you can ftp a fresh copy (from the 2010weaver theme or from a backup) to the same location, overwriting the 'faulty' file.
(file manager should also work)

If I go into file manager and just delete the theme can I get back to dashboard and put things back together?
if you haven't made any substantial changes to your theme, deleting it in the file manager and uploading a fresh copy should work.
(i personally edit my themes local on my computer (dreamweaver) and ftp the changed files to the server; maybe a bit more complicated than editing the files from within wordpress, but dreamwweaver has some useful syntax higlighting and error checks; and this way i can always undo changes, if the site runs into an error)
i tend to forget the perils of editing code and getting errors, and making the site unaccessibel :-(
PS:
if you have deleted the 2010weaver, the site should go back to the default theme and should be usable. and you should be able to re-install and activate 2010weaver.

I'm back up - thanks for your help. In conclusion an easy way to add a "modified" date to single posts is this:
