<p>This plugin allows you to optionally keep the last post modified date unchanged when you update the post in WordPress Classic Editor.</p>
<p>It adds datepicker and checkbox to the Publish panel of every post. If you select checkbox when you update the post, the last modified date will change; if not, this date will not change no matter how many times you update the post.</p>
<p>This is a helpful thing if you make only slight changes to the post and don’t want it to be noticed by the search engine crawlers or even in the post information publicly visible on your website.</p>
<p>Only use the plugin to keep the last modified date unchanged for minor changes. If you make a major change to a post, make sure to check the box to update the last modified date, thus making search engines aware of the update.</p>

Post Updated Date

It's really a nice plugin to show "Last Updated Date" in WordPress Posts.



"Post Updated Date"

The plugin works but does not allow translation. And you cannot choose where to put the text (no shortcode, no function for template).

Needs some polish


maybe a good idea, but most themes show the last modified date. This plugin broke my site today. just today, no idea why.



to the trash.


useless plugin
