Hi Waqar,

i picked this 2 snippets from the search here.

add_shortcode('the-modified-author', function( $atts = [], $content=null ) {
    return get_the_modified_author();
});


add_shortcode('wpv-post-modified', 'wpv_post_modified_shortcode');
function wpv_post_modified_shortcode($atts) {
    static $tempDate = 0;   
    if (empty($atts['format'])) {
        $atts['format'] = get_option('date_format');
    }
    if( $tempDate < get_the_modified_date('U', true) )
    {
        $tempDate = get_the_modified_date('U', true);
        return date($atts['format'], $tempDate);
    }
    return '';
}

i tried to use them but this code doesn't work in layout cell.,. any idea why ?

Hi Dee,

Thanks for asking! I'd be happy to help.

I've tested the code of both your shortcodes and they work as expected from a layout cell as well as inside a view.

I would suggest a slight adjustment to the second shortcode though, as the original code won't work if the same shortcode is used twice on a page.

add_shortcode('wpv-post-modified', 'wpv_post_modified_shortcode');
function wpv_post_modified_shortcode($atts) {
       
    if (empty($atts['format'])) {
        $atts['format'] = get_option('date_format');
    }
    if( get_the_modified_date('U', true) )
    {
        $tempDate = get_the_modified_date('U', true);
        
        return date($atts['format'], $tempDate);
    }
}

Important note: These shortcodes will only work if they are used inside a loop, whether its a view or a layout, which mean the current post's ID is available to enclosed functions.

The difference between your custom shortcode "wpv-post-modified" and the builtin shortcode "wpv-post-date" is that first one will show the date and time when a post was last edited, while the second one will show it's published date and time.

regards,
Waqar
