 * Hi there, according to the latest changes to the core, how should I transform
   the dates below?
 *     ```
       function et_last_modified_date_blog( $the_date ) {
           if ( 'post' === get_post_type() ) {
               $the_time = get_post_time( 'His' );
               $the_modified = get_post_modified_time( 'His' );
   
       	$last_modified =  sprintf( __( 'Last updated %s', 'Divi' ), esc_html( get_post_modified_time( 'd m Y \a\l\l\e g:iA' ) ) );
       		$published =  sprintf( __( 'Del %s', 'Divi' ), esc_html( get_post_time( 'd m Y' ) ) );
   
               $date = $the_modified !== $the_time ? $last_modified . ' | ' .  $published : $published;
   
               return $date;
           }
       }
       add_action( 'get_the_date', 'et_last_modified_date_blog' );
       add_action( 'get_the_time', 'et_last_modified_date_blog' );
       ```

 * Why would you change anything?
    The date changes in core were made to fix some
   inconsistencies (and a few more changes are coming since these caused a few issues).

 * instead of modifying you can change the display with filters and php code. (if
   you really don’t want to use the **general setting** of date_format).

   in mysql the dates must be archived `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss` for column **DATETIME**
   Recover the date from the database and calculate the difference of your offeset
   if you don’t have UTC as default.

 * I only need to show the Last Update on post, under the title. I used this code(
   develop by ET team) for years, but after last Wp update, I notice an issue in
   the back-end.
 * I try to use also this code in single-post.php, but…
 * <?php echo (esc_html( get_post_modified_time( ‘d/m/Y \a\l\l\e g:i A’ ))); ?>
