This snippet replaces the default published date by the last post update’s date in your post metas.
add_filter( 'tc_date_meta' , 'display_the_update_date');
function display_the_update_date() {
return sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="updated %2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>' ,
esc_url( get_day_link( get_the_time( 'Y' ), get_the_time( 'm' ), get_the_time( 'd' ) ) ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date('F j, Y') ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date('c') ),
get_the_modified_date('F j, Y')
);
}
Where to paste this code? => in your functions.php file. I strongly recommend to create a child theme. Download a start-up child theme here.

Hello would you be able to guide me how to hide post date and the author? I went to setting>general> Custom. When I save the changes it remains the same setting as default. Reply will be appreciated. Thank you. Kris
