I’ll check it out today! How long does it usually take for Google to pick up on the last modified date in search results? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Last Modified Info] Will this plugin work on a custom Elementor built blog post template?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-this-plugin-work-on-a-custom-elementor-built-blog-post-template/) * Thread Starter [Eric](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehilliard/) * (@ehilliard) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-this-plugin-work-on-a-custom-elementor-built-blog-post-template/#post-10959639) * I don’t know why but in following the directions you provided with the post custom field set to wp-last-modified the date is not pulling anything, it is just a blank space. Any ideas or known conflicts with other plugins? * Through trying to set it up like you outlined I discovered that I could pull the modified date with the Elementor custom post date setting, but then maybe with that route, I won’t benefit from the Schema markup in your plugin and search engines pulling the last modified instead of the published date. Thoughts? * Here is a link to a post if that helps at all: [https://lushpalm.com/surfing-punta-mita/](https://lushpalm.com/surfing-punta-mita/) * One more question. In your experience, do search engines typically recognize and pull the last modified date right away or does it take a few days or weeks for that to happen? Do you recommend having Google re-crawl/index our site? * Thanks again for all your support * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Elementor Website Builder - more than just a page builder] Theme Builder Single Post Template Margins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-builder-single-post-template-margins/) * Thread Starter [Eric](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehilliard/) * (@ehilliard) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-builder-single-post-template-margins/#post-10959575) * Oh, my apologies, I see a lot of people ask questions and seek support for various themes and plugins in these forums and get excellent support and answers so I thought it was all good.

Pardon my lack of experience here for I’m just learning the ropes but how would that be accomplished? Can it be done pretty easily or is it a more complex custom function? * I’ve installed and activated your plugin and am using the shortcode method to manually add the ‘updated’ date to my custom Elementor posts. I used some basic CSS to match the style of my site and everything looks great. * But I’m still using the Elementor post meta info widget for the published date until I can figure out how to accomplish the EITHER/OR function. * Any tips? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Last Modified Info] Will this plugin work on a custom Elementor built blog post template?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-this-plugin-work-on-a-custom-elementor-built-blog-post-template/) * Thread Starter [Eric](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehilliard/) * (@ehilliard) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-this-plugin-work-on-a-custom-elementor-built-blog-post-template/#post-10937580) * Good to know, thank you. One more question I was wondering about, is it possible to display EITHER the published date OR the last modified date depending on if the post has ever been updated or not?

Thanks so much for your help! That worked like a charm. Sorry for my lack of coding knowledge as I am just starting to learn and get familiar but is there a line I can add in to edit the text that is being displayed? I’m trying to find out how and where to do that but haven’t figured it out yet. I’d just like to change it to say ‘read more’ instead of ‘continue reading’ to be consistent with the rest of my site.

It would definitely be nice if there was some sort of call to action option for that style blog entry. Is there some custom CSS that can be added to make that happen by chance?
