 * Hi there,
    I’m unable to get the Last Modified date to either replace the Published
   Date like this plugin says it can (“Allows you to replace post published date
   with post modified info”) or at the very least, have the modified date be in 
   the same line, right under the header, by the published date. Right now the modified
   date just appears right at the beginning of my post content, looking like it 
   was just manually added as part of the post. (I linked one of my blog posts that
   show this)
 * Ideally, I’d like to replace the published date with modified date, but if that’s
   not possible, my next option would to put the modified date in the same line 
   and display as published date. How can I get either of these to work??
 * Hope that makes sense and that you can help 🙂 Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Go to Template Tags tab and add this line `<span class="date">%published_date%
   </span>` to the “Enter text or HTML to Replace:” field and save changes.

 * Thanks Sayan, that worked to change the published date to the modified date! 
   Is there a way to make it say “modified on” before it though? Also, the date 
   is now a very different font from the rest of the text in that line under the
   header. Would you know how to fix this so it matches the rest? Thanks again for
   everything 🙂

 * Hi,
 * Pleae go to Templates Tags Tab and write “Modified on” on the ‘Text before Last
   Modified Info’ field and write “date” in ‘Custom CSS Class’ field in Templates
   Tags Tab and save changes.
 * Hope, it will work.
 * Thanks!
