Hey there, Morten. Strange that it's not working for you on Pages. I use the_modified_time('l, j F Y'); on each of my Pages to display the date it was last changed, and it works. I haven't tested, but the_modified_time() simply filters get_the_modified_time(), so I'd assume that get_the_modified_time() must work. Try putting in the_modified_time('l, j F Y'); where you want your icon, just to be sure that the last changed date is appearing.

Nice – this really helped me. Do you happen to know why this doesn’t work for pages? It seems that get_the_modified_time() only returns modified time for post, and not pages.
I’d like to show a little “Updated” icon next to the pages that has been changed after a 10 day period, but I can’t figure out how to get the modified time for pages :-/

I do a lot of updating at later times, usually just formatting the modifications in italics, but this is great. Although, now it shows all the times I’ve made grammatical corrections as well.
Do you think this helps the modifications to be picked up by search engines? Sometimes I rewrite 1/3 of the post and would like the revision to be noticed.
