Any theme – How to show post modified date?

[Dan B]

I'm wondering how I can show the modified date for my blog posts in a Genesis theme. I currently am messing around with both Minimum and Metro themes, and this should apply to both.

In a typical WP theme, I can simply drop in the following code which will pull the last date updated

<?php the_modified_date(); ?>

However, this does nothing to the Genesis Functions.php file, except break it.

Anybody know how I can pull this info in a (any) Genesis theme?

You want to use hooks here. Maybe something like this if you're using HTML5 (not tested)?
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'new_info' );
function new_info() {
the_modified_date();
}

If you're not HTML5, do 'genesis_before_post_content' instead of 'genesis_entry_header' ... again, not sure if this would work but hopefully it's a start.

One tool you might like to try is this Genesis custom PHP builder from Cobalt Apps. If I don't know where to start, I'm usually able to get some ideas there. HTH
