Last Modified Timestamp

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

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

   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!

   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!

   Good plugin. This should be part of WordPress core.

   Works overall as intended, but would be nice if plugin by default could use the date format already defined in the WP settings. Would then appear correct in Admin, and also no need having to alter this for each shortcode used. This topic was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by kmorgen.
