Post Updated Date

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 72% 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.

   I had this on my site for a while and then my traffic dropped off and I discovered this plugin caused the error “There has been a Critical error on this web site” and took all my posts offline

   maybe a good idea, but most themes show the last modified date. This plugin broke my site today. just today, no idea why. to the trash.

   Shows the published date (not the modified date, as the name would imply). Since this capability is already provided, the plugin only adds the ability to sort the column.

   If you’re searching for a free, “done-for-you”, “ready-to-use”, WordPress plugin to automatically display the “Last Updated On” date within each one of your posts, look NO further. This is the perfect plugin for YOU! And, the setup is too simple. Plus, you need NO knowledge of code. At my humble request, Ataul made it so that even my “Categories” section (a list of post titles and excerpts) would also show the “Last Updated On” date as I update posts. So, now each posts (in each of my categories) reads – published date and last updated date. You can check out the fantastic work that he did for me on my website – iLoveToLiveWell.com. He gets a 5-star for his wonderful plugin, a 5-star for his responsiveness, a 5-star for his willingness to help and a 5-star for his great customer service. Ataul has over 1,000 active users, and I’m now thrilled to say that I’m one of them! The only thing that I have left to say – Get this plugin. You’ll be so happy you did! Oh, and another thing I really like is that he uses the words “Last Updated On” instead of “Last Modified On”. Thanks Ataul. Keep up the terrific work! BTW, I don’t personally know Ataul – I’m just loving his helpful plugin. Blessings, Dianne Wawrzyniak-Marshall

   The plugin does what it’s supposed to do and the creator Ataul helped me with the translation of the plugin. Ataul responds very quick if you need some help!

   I’ve gone many years hoping to find a plugin to display date on our news stories on wwwTennisReporters.net. Post Updated Date allows us to do that! Great plugin!

   Hi, this plugin is excellent showing when the posts are last updated but it doesn’t show on the blog roll when you first see it, only the original date does. I left you the link for the 2nd page where my original posts are. I have a new website so I don’t have a lot of posts yet. You will see how on this blog roll the old date is there in front. On this page you will see from the bottom up the dates starting in March. **Ok so in my review the link is not showing, just an FYI for other’s reading this. I didn’t forget to add it. It must be just for the owner to view. Thanks** It’s NOT until you click the title or ‘read more’ to open the post that you see the updated date which looks nice there. Also, it does NOT show BOTH dates ‘together’as stated, but at least the updated date is there. Is there a way you can show the update on the blog roll for each post? It’s too bad it shows right under the title and may deter the visitor from reading it. Thanks! This topic was modified 8 years, 9 months ago by Ann. Reason: My link is not showing up on my review and I wanted to point that out for others who will be reading my review, that I didn't forget to add it and it may be just for the owner to see it

   This is a great idea but because it automatically applies to EVERY post, it simply highlights that a post has NOT been updated. I have thousands of posts. Many, such as how to build a deck, are evergreen and do not require updating. This plugin ‘highlights’ the fact that the post has not been updated for more than five years, making it look stale even though it is still 100% relevant. The plugin needs to apply ONLY when a post IS updated. DW This topic was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by now4dw.
