WP Last Modified Info

WP Last Modified Info: the Ultimate Last Modified plugin

Most WordPress themes usually show the date when a post was last published. This is fine for most blogs and static websites. However, WordPress is also used by websites where old articles are regularly updated. This last updated date and time is important information for those publications. The most common example is news websites. They often update old stories to show new developments, add corrections, or media files. If they only added the published date, then their users would miss those updates.

Many popular blogs and websites don’t show any date on their articles. This is a bad practice and you should never remove dates from your blog posts.

So now it is possible to add last modified/updated info on your WordPress posts and pages. Just install and activate this and configuration is very easy.

Returns the last modified info:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_last_modified_info' ) ) {
        get_the_last_modified_info();
    }
?>

Displays/echos the last modified info:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'the_last_modified_info' ) ) {
        the_last_modified_info();
    }
?>

Published date is equal to the modified date. What is the solution?

Sometimes you may want to show last modified date only. For that reason, post published date and modified date would be the same and the last modified date will still appear on post/pages even if it’s the same as the published date. In that case, you can set a time difference(ex. 1 day i.e. 24 hours) between post published date and modified date via plugin settings gap option.

The plugin isn’t working or have a bug?

Post detailed information about the issue in the support forum and I will work to fix it.

Been using this for a bit now and am very happy I found it! From what I have heard, Google prefers seeing the date when a post is modified plus it lets my readers know the content is current. Thanks!
