Freshtag – Last Modified Timestamp

Freshtag – Last Modified Timestamp

Details
View on WordPress

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.
