Try using the_modified_date() or the_modified_time(), which should display the last updated date.
Chances are your home page is using the_content. Use the_excerpt instead. The template your home page would be using is either index.php, or front-page.php. Refer to the Template Hierarchy image for more information.

You will have to declare $wpdb as a global variable before you use this … Read more
I think this is what you are looking for: function my_posts_shortcode_wpse_135655() { if (!is_user_logged_in()) return; global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); if (!empty($current_user->ID)) { $userp = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_author’ => $current_user->ID, ) ); $content=””; if ($userp->have_posts()) { while ($userp->have_posts()) { $userp->the_post(); $content .= get_the_title(); } } else { $content .= “You don’t have any posts.”; } wp_reset_postdata(); … Read more
