 I scheduled a post on 30th Jan for 1st Feb. When the post was published,
 the modified date shows lower than the published date.

 I am using {{{<?php the_date('F j, Y'); ?>}}} for first part & {{{<?php
 the_modified_date('F j, Y'); ?>}}} for the second part.

 This should show the_modified_date = the_date in case of scheduled posts?

 Thoughts?
