Description

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:

  • Custom meta box in the post/page/product editor to manually set a “Last Modified” date
  • Automatically display the last modified date at the top or bottom of posts/pages
  • Hide the default WordPress “Published On” date
  • Shortcode [freshtag] to place the date anywhere in your content
  • Works with posts, pages, and WooCommerce products
  • Simple setup — no coding required

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

  • Option A — Auto-insert (no code)

    • In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings FreshTag.
    • Under Display Position, choose Above the post or Below the post.
    • Click Save and refresh your site. You’ll see “Last updated: …” at the location you selected.

  • Option B — Manual placement

    • Shortcode (Classic or Block Editor): [freshtag]

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.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/freshtag directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings > Freshtag to configure display options (choose whether to show dates automatically at the top or bottom of posts).
  4. Edit any post, page, or product — you’ll see a “Last Modified” meta box where you can manually set the last modified date.
  5. (Optional) Use the shortcode [freshtag] anywhere in your content to display the modified date.
