To get the last modified time of an article in WordPress given its ID, you can use the get_post_modified_time function. Here’s how you can do it:

<?php
$post_id = 5;$last_modified_time = get_post_modified_time(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, true, $post_id);

echo ‘last_modified_time: ‘ . $last_modified_time;
?>

Explanation:

get_post_modified_time(): This function retrieves the last modification time of a post.
- The first parameter 'Y-m-d H:i:s' specifies the format in which you want to get the time. You can change this format as needed. For example, 'F j, Y' will give you the date in a more readable format like “July 30, 2024”.
- The second parameter true indicates that you want the time to be retrieved in GMT. If you want it in the local timezone, set this parameter to false.
- The third parameter is the ID of the post.

If you want to use this code in a theme or plugin, make sure you put it in the appropriate place, such as in the functions.php file, or in a template file:

php
Copy code
// In a WordPress theme template file
<?php
// Specify the post ID
$post_id = 5;

// Get the last modified time of the post
$last_modified_time = get_post_modified_time(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, true, $post_id);

// Output the last modified time
echo ‘Last modified time: ‘ . $last_modified_time;
?>
Make sure to replace 5 with the post ID you need. This way you can get and display the last modified time of a specific post.
