Description
Adds two template tags, latest_post_date()
and latest_post_modified_date()
, the first echoes the most recent post publication date, the second echoes the modification date of the most recently modified post.
Each template tag takes two params: $date_format, standard WP date formatting string (defaults to the default date formatting for your WP blog), and $echo, display the date, if TRUE
, or return the date to be used in PHP, if FALSE
, (defaults to TRUE
).
For example: <?php latest_post_date( 'l, F j, Y', TRUE ); ?>
would return a date similar to Friday, September 24, 2004 for use in PHP. Another example: <?php latest_post_date(); ?>
would echo a date in the default formatting for your WP blog.
