I’m trying to display the last published date of post is more recent than the published date of the post but I’m not sure how to do this. I attempted to do it with {{compare}} but that didn’t work.

So what I’ve resorted to is the following which doesn’t seem to work very well. If anyone has any advice on how I can display the updated date for a post if it’s more recent than the published date that would be amazing!

{{#checkIfAny @config.post.displayLastUpdatedDate @config.post.displayDate}}
                        {{#if @config.post.displayLastUpdatedDate}}
                           {{#if modifiedAt}}
                              <time datetime="{{date createdAt 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm'}}">
                                 {{#checkIf @config.custom.formatDate '!=' 'custom'}}
                                    Last Updated: {{date modifiedAt @config.custom.formatDate}}
                                 {{else}}
                                    Last Updated: {{date modifiedAt @config.custom.formatDateCustom}}
                                 {{/checkIf}}
                              </time>
                           {{/if}}
                        {{/if}}
                        {{else}}
                              <time datetime="{{date createdAt 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm'}}">
                                 {{#checkIf @config.custom.formatDate '!=' 'custom'}}
                                    Published: {{date createdAt @config.custom.formatDate}}
                                 {{else}}
                                    Published: {{date createdAt @config.custom.formatDateCustom}}
                                 {{/checkIf}}
                              </time>
                     {{/checkIfAny}}

You don’t need a condition, just provide a modified date which will return the publish date if the post hasn’t been modified.

Thanks Bob understood, however what if I wanted to display text alongside the date to show the text “Published:” along with the published date if the page has not been modified since the date of being published and the text “Updated:” along with the updated date if the page has been modified since the date of being published. Is this possible to do?
