// Create's recently updated label (for attaching to templates. Use echo add_update_status(); to retrieve value



function add_update_status() {



//First checks if we are in the loop and we are not displaying a page



if ( ! in_the_loop() || is_page() )



return $html;



//Instantiates the different date objects



$created = new DateTime( get_the_date('Y-m-d g:i:s') );

//Creates the date_diff objects from dates



$created_to_updated = date_diff($created , $updated);

//Checks if the post has been updated since its creation



$has_been_updated = ( $created_to_updated -> s > 0 || $created_to_updated -> i > 0 ) ? true : false;



//Checks if the last update is less than n days old. (replace n by your own value)



$has_recent_update = ( $has_been_updated && $updated_to_today -> days < 7 ) ? true : false;

//Adds HTML after the title



$recent_update = $has_recent_update ? '<small><a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Updated: '. get_the_modified_date('M j') .' at '. get_the_modified_date('g:i a') .'"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-asterisk text-orange"></span></a></small>' : '';
