Deskripsyon
Micro Site Care: Post Last Updated Date adds a last-updated date label to your posts and pages. It is lightweight, uses no JavaScript, and integrates cleanly with any theme.
Key features:
- Show the last-updated date automatically before content, after content, or in both positions.
- Set placement to Manual and use the template tag in your theme for full control over where the label appears.
- Customise the label text with a flexible template — use
%sto insert the date, or omit it to show a static label. - Choose between the WordPress site date format or a custom PHP date format string.
- Optionally suppress the label when the modified date matches the publish date (suppress unchanged posts).
- Target specific post types, or exclude selected post types from an all-types baseline.
- Clean HTML5
<time>element output with an ISO 8601datetimeattribute for SEO and screen readers. - Developer-friendly: four filter hooks to customise visibility, label, CSS classes, and final HTML output.
- Compatible with MSC Post Last Updated Date Pro for relative dates, style presets, per-post overrides, and shortcodes.
