Freshtag – Last Modified Info & Timestamp, Detect Old Content, Boost SEO
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. Freshtag Pro (Coming Soon) FreshTag Pro turns FreshTag into a full freshness monitoring system. Planned Pro features: Outdated content monitoring for posts, pages and custom post Email alerts when content becomes outdated Auto‑update post dates (modified or publish) Drip updates to spread refreshes over multiple days Updated content history and logs
Show modified Date in admin lists
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 Sort by modified which has some problems displaying the information correctly in latest WordPress versiones. We love Admin Columns, 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). SHOW MODIFIED DATE IN ADMIN LISTS in your Language! The first release is avaliable in English, Spanish and German. In the “languages” folder we have included the necessary files to translate this plugin. If you would like the plugin in your language and you’re good at translating, please use the native WordPress Translation functionality. New to Translating a plugin? First read through the Translator Handbook, then select your locale at Translating WordPress and finally go to the translation page for this plugin to translate it.
