Active Installs

17/30

At 7,000 active installs the plugin has a modest but real user base, well below category leaders but enough to show steady adoption.

Update Freshness

15/25

Updated in August 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, the plugin shows recent, active maintenance by the developer.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100/100 from 28 reviewers indicates very high satisfaction among the small sample of users who have rated it.

Support Health

8/15

With zero support threads recorded there is no public track record of how responsive the author is when issues arise, which is a yellow flag for any site relying on it in production.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Tested with WordPress 6.8.5 and requiring only WordPress 4.6 and PHP 5.3, it runs on an extremely wide range of environments, though the very low PHP floor signals older coding practices.

What It Does

Last Modified Timestamp surfaces the last modified date and time of posts and pages in the WordPress admin and exposes it on the front-end through a [last-modified] shortcode. Site owners can drop the shortcode into any post, page, or widget to display when the content was last updated, which is useful for readers who want to gauge freshness.

Who It's For

This plugin suits content-heavy sites where publication dates alone are misleading, including news outlets, blogs, knowledge bases, documentation portals, and legal or compliance pages that must reflect recent revisions. It also fits tutorial authors and e-learning creators who frequently refresh materials and want visitors to see that updates happened.

Who Should Skip It

If you rarely update published content or already use a full SEO plugin that displays modified dates, this lightweight tool will be redundant. Larger publishers handling 40,000+ posts should also consider the more scalable WP Last Modified Info instead.

The Bottom Line

Last Modified Timestamp is a focused, lightweight tool that does one job well and earns top marks from every reviewer who has tried it. The main caveat is the absence of any support history, so teams needing guaranteed author responsiveness should test it carefully before committing. For small to mid-sized sites that just need a clean modified-date shortcode, it is a solid choice with an overall quality score of 69.05/100.
