This plugin shows a new, sortable, column with the modified date in the lists of pages and posts in the WordPress admin panel. It also shows the username that did the last update.
We needed this functionality for one of our websites and didn’t find a suitable plugin for it. The idea of our plugin is based on the plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sort-by-modified/" rel="ugc">Sort by modified</a> which has some problems displaying the information correctly in latest WordPress versiones. We love <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/codepress-admin-columns/" rel="ugc">Admin Columns</a>, but the free version doesn’t allow sorting the columns.
We also have included translations which are important for us as we are based in Valencia (Spain).
<h4>SHOW MODIFIED DATE IN ADMIN LISTS in your Language!</h4>

Show modified Date in admin lists

Did the job, thanks for this simple, but very useful plugin.

I'm using it to compare content updates before moving a staging environment back to live, where data has been updated on both in different places.

Works as advertised!

Freshtag lets you manually set and display a custom “Last Modified” date for any post, page, or product. 
Instead of always showing the original publish date, you can highlight recent updates — keeping your content looking fresh and relevant.
✅ Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Custom meta box in the post/page/product editor to manually set a “Last Modified” date</li>
<li>Automatically display the last modified date at the top or bottom of posts/pages</li>
<li>Hide the default WordPress “Published On” date</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[freshtag]</code> to place the date anywhere in your content</li>
<li>Works with posts, pages, and WooCommerce products</li>
<li>Simple setup — no coding required</li>
</ul>
This is especially useful for blogs, news sites, and e-commerce stores where keeping content fresh builds SEO trust and user confidence.
How To Use
<ul>
<li>
Option A — Auto-insert (no code)
<ul>
<li>In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings → FreshTag.</li>
<li>Under Display Position, choose Above the post or Below the post.</li>
<li>Click Save and refresh your site. You’ll see “Last updated: …” at the location you selected.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Option B — Manual placement
<ul>
<li>Shortcode (Classic or Block Editor): [freshtag]</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
How it works: FreshTag reads the post’s Last Modified time (WordPress post_modified). Update your post (or adjust the Last Modified meta on the edit screen, if enabled) and the frontend will show the new “Last updated” time automatically.
<h3>Freshtag Pro (Coming Soon)</h3>
FreshTag Pro turns FreshTag into a full freshness monitoring system.
Planned Pro features:
<ul>
<li>Outdated content monitoring for posts, pages and custom post</li>
<li>Email alerts when content becomes outdated</li>
<li>Auto‑update post dates (modified or publish)</li>
<li>Drip updates to spread refreshes over multiple days</li>
<li>Updated content history and logs</li>
</ul>
