I have wrote a blog article on 23 of January, this is also written in the "date: " front matter. Now I have updated the blog post. When I change the "date: " in the front matter is the original post date gone, isn’t it? The only solution what I see is to add some kind of ‘Histroy table’ some ware…

thanks. I have added lastmod: 2017-08-20 into the font matter I have tried the following but none of them works. Last modified: {{ .Page.Date.Lastmod }} Last modified: {{ .Date.Lastmod }} Last modified: {{ .Lastmod }} I use netlify.

That last one should work for sure. I can’t say much without seeing your templates.

Ah okay maybe that’s the problem. I use this in a content file. Is this possible there?

You can’t have spaces in front matter keys: lastmod: 2017-08-30

Thanks. It’s now solved with a shortcode. layouts/shortcodes/lastmod.html {{ dateFormat ( or $.Site.Params.dateFormat "2006, Jan 02" ) $.Page.Params.LastMod }}

Glad it worked out. I’m still a little confused on your use case, but in the event that I might be on the same page w/r/t to what you’re trying to accomplish, you might want to check out the following: .Param Calls page or site variables into your template.

You might find what you’re looking for in the docs. There are several date-based variables for you to choose from: https://gohugo.io/variables/page/#page-variables
