Works well!
by brochite·3 years ago
This plugin works well, despite my confusion with a conflicting plugin that did give some issues.
Kudos to the plugin writer Evan for writing back to help me solve an issue that wasn’t his to solve!
I use it ever day!

I’ve used this plugin for years now.
It works like a charm and does exactly what it says on the box.
Useful, simple plugin!

Great way to track modification dates of posts on my blog on the admin side while giving the option of putting it on a post. I like that you can control if the modified date shows up by inserting the shortcode but it doesn’t do it automatically. Some posts I don’t want the modified date to be inserted if I’m fixing a typo or something similar.
Great plugin!
Should be a standard feature

I added a privacy policy page to a client’s website and wanted to automatically display when it was last updated. I was surprised to find this feature lacking from WP. Searched and found this super simple plugin, and it worked great.
Thanks!
