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
