<h3>WP Last Modified Info: the Ultimate Last Modified plugin</h3>
<p>Most WordPress themes usually show the date when a post was last published. This is fine for most blogs and static websites. However, WordPress is also used by websites where old articles are regularly updated. This last updated date and time is important information for those publications. The most common example is news websites. They often update old stories to show new developments, add corrections, or media files. If they only added the published date, then their users would miss those updates.</p>
<p>Many popular blogs and websites don’t show any date on their articles. This is a bad practice and you should never remove dates from your blog posts.</p>
<p>So now it is possible to add last modified/updated info on your WordPress posts and pages. Just install and activate this and configuration is very easy.</p>

WP Last Modified Info

Works as expected

Just Works


Last Modified info is part of the SEO game and strategy AND user experience (UX); therefore, this plugin adds a lot of value to large sites that I work.



I use it to quickly sort pages (using the new admin column under Pages) and find out which haven't been touched in a long time, update rates, photos, old information. It's good for users and for SEO.



I'm donating to the author of this plugin. Their work to keep this plugin updated, useful, and unobtrusive deserves recognition and reward!



THANK YOU!
