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.
