WP Last Modified Info

80 Quality Score

Active Installs

Popularity is solid at 40,000 active installs, though it is a niche utility rather than a mainstream plugin, so its score reflects targeted adoption rather than mass-market reach.

User ratings are exceptionally high at 98 out of 100 across 840 reviews, indicating near-universal satisfaction among those who have tried it.

Support Health

8/15

Support health is the weakest area, with only 4 threads and a 25 percent resolution rate, which is a small sample but suggests limited responsiveness.

WP Compatibility

Compatibility is strong, requiring only WordPress 4.7 and PHP 7.0, so it will run on the vast majority of modern hosting environments.

What It Does

WP Last Modified Info adds configurable last-modified timestamps to WordPress posts, pages, and custom post types, with Gutenberg block support and shortcodes for flexible placement. It also exposes sort-by-modified options and lets administrators control how and where the modified date appears on the front end and in admin lists.

Who It's For

This plugin fits content-heavy sites where freshness matters: news outlets, documentation portals, legal and compliance pages, review sites, and wikis that need to signal to readers (and to search engines) when an article was last updated. It also suits bloggers who maintain older evergreen content and want to highlight recent revisions.

Who Should Skip It

If your site rarely updates existing posts or you are comfortable with WordPress's default published-date display, this plugin adds little value. Sites running very old PHP versions below 7.0 should also skip it, since the minimum PHP requirement will block activation on legacy hosts.

The Bottom Line

WP Last Modified Info is a well-maintained, highly rated utility that delivers exactly what its name promises, scoring 82.81 out of 100 on PluginCheck. The main caveat is thin support thread volume, so buyers who value responsive developer backing should temper expectations. For most content publishers who want to surface update freshness, it is a reliable, low-risk choice.

Pick this instead if your only need is to see modified dates in the WordPress admin post list rather than display them on the front end.

Last Modified Timestamp 69/100

Choose this lighter alternative if you want a simple front-end modified timestamp without Gutenberg blocks or shortcode configuration.

Change Last Modified Date 66/100

Reach for this plugin instead if your primary goal is to manually rewrite or backdate modified timestamps rather than display them.

Cachebuster 48/100

Consider Cachebuster only if your real problem is cache invalidation tied to post updates, not visitor-facing modified date display.
