    Hi,
    I've added the last modified date to the entry meta for posts, using Genesis Simple Edits. My question: is there a way to have the last modified date show ONLY when it is different than the Publish Date? I'm using Daily Dish theme, and here's how it displays (draft site):

    http://draft.bewebsmart.com/archive/

    Secondly, can I show the modified date only on the posts, and not in the archives?

    Thanks for any assistance. I'm completely new to Genesis, but able to edit functions.php if needed.

    1. I think thats what is does. Only shows the the latest date if the pos is modified.

    2. You would need to remove the plugin and use code with the

    is_singular('post'))

    conditional tag.

    Thanks. As a newbie might be more than I can dig into at the moment, but I might return to this when I have a bit more time to delve into the code.
