WP Last Modified adds the ‚last_modified_date‘ shortcode to your WordPress installation. This shortcode shows the last timestamp of your post/page. Simply use the „format“ attribute for custom date formats (it uses PHP’s date() function). 
The “description” attribute enables a brief description which changes has been made with the last modification. 
WP Last Modified shows also the actual revision of and the publication date of the post/page. 
You can customize the text which will be shown under each post/page under settings -> WP Last Modified Settings. You can also hide one of the elements if you do not want them.
With version 1.1.0, WP Open Last Modified was renamed to WP Last Modified.

<ul>
<li>last modification timestamp of a post/page</li>

<li>timestamp format customizable</li>
<li>revision count</li>
<li>custom text with placeholders</li>
