Update the Modified Date in a WooCommerce Order

If you run a script to update order properties in WooCommerce, you may want to update the “post_modified” date along with the other updates. Many third-party integrations rely on the post_modified date to sync any order changes or updates.

Here’s how you can easily update the modified date (assuming you have the order object):

$order->set_date_modified( time() );

Here’s a full example which fetches the order, updates the date, and saves the order.

$order = wc_get_order( 123 );
$order->set_date_modified( time() );
$order->save();
