Replace post published date with Last updated date

Resolved

(@sameerpanda)

Hello Sparkling team

I want to replace the published date with last updated date. Can anyone help me?

I found this code in inc folder, shall I edit here or what?

/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
 */
function sparkling_posted_on() {
	$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
	if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
		$time_string .= '<time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
	}

	$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
	);

	printf( '<span class="posted-on"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> %1$s</span><span class="byline"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> %2$s</span>',
		sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark">%2$s</a>',
			esc_url( get_permalink() ),
			$time_string
		),
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_author() )
		)
	);
}
endif;

I also want to add some text before date as “Last updated on”. Please help me

Hi Sameer Panda,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can try achieving this by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of the latest version of Sparkling theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Sparkling Options -> Other -> Custom CSS
```
.entry-meta .posted-on a:before {
    content: "Last Updated on ";
}
.entry-meta time.entry-date.published {
    display: none;
}
.entry-meta time.updated {
    display: inline-block;
}
```
Best Regards,
Movin
