About
Show modified date column in the lists of pages and posts in the WordPress admin panel.
What It Does
This plugin adds a 'Last Modified' column to the posts and pages list tables in the WordPress admin, letting editors see at a glance when each piece of content was most recently updated. It surfaces the modified timestamp without requiring users to open individual edit screens, which speeds up audits of stale or recently touched content.
Who It's For
It is best suited for content-heavy sites managed by teams who need to track when articles, documentation, or compliance pages were last revised. Editors running newsrooms, knowledge bases, legal content libraries, or client-facing documentation will get the most value from a quick visual indicator of freshness.
Who Should Skip It
If you only manage a handful of posts or never need to audit content freshness in bulk, the native WordPress edit screen already shows modified dates and this plugin adds little. Sites that already use a full editorial workflow plugin with built-in revision tracking should skip this lightweight add-on to avoid redundancy.
The Bottom Line
Show modified Date in admin lists does one thing and does it well, earning a 79.12 overall quality score driven by strong ratings, current maintenance, and solid compatibility. The unresolved support threads and modest install base are minor concerns, but the focused scope means there is little to go wrong. For teams who live in the posts list and care about content freshness, this is a sensible pick.
