If used without any arguments, it will display the date in the format configured in the Settings > General tab. It supports several optional arguments: format, before, and after. These options allow you to change how the date/time is formatted and if anything should appear before or after the date/time is displayed. ### Readme Generator * This plugin’s readme.txt file was generated by the [bitacre Readme Generator](http://shinraholdings.com/project/readme-gen/) for WordPress Plugins. ### Support * [Plugin Homepage](http://shinraholdings.com/plugins/last-updated-shortcode) * [plugins@shinraholdings.com](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/last-updated-shortcode/plugins@shinraholdings.com?output_format=md) ### Donations [Donations](http://shinraholdings.com/donate) are graciously accepted to support the continued development and maintenance of this and other plugins.

Download the latest zip file and extract the `last-updated-shortcode` directory. 2. Upload this directory inside your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate ‘Literal Shortcode’ on the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 4. Insert the shortcode in a post or page to return the date/time it was last modified. ## FAQ What is the shortcode? You can use either `[lastupdated]` or `[lastupdate]`, they both work identically. What formatting options can I use You can use any of the special date variables listed at this WordPress [codex page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time). If you want to insert plain text (like the word « at » for instance) escape each letter with a backslash, \l\i\k\e \t\h\i\s. How do I insert this in theme files? Just wrap the shortcode in ``. So to get the default display, just insert `` Why did you make this? Everyone likes a good shortcode! Can I change the shortcode? Yes, just open `last-updated-shortcode.php` and add or change what text you want to trigger the shortcode in on of the arrays near the bottom. If this gets any kind of popularity, I’ll make that easier by adding an options page. Can you add this feature I just thought of? Can I? Yes. Will I? Yes, if I think it would be a helpful addition. I’m trying to keep things clean and simple, but there’s always room for improvement, so let me know if you think a feature is lacking! ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/11eeb5b45071837d6be8986ff47663bb32a7d5daa8c8d49ebfcf70fb9222e45c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Working fine with WP 4.9.8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-fine-with-wp-4-9-8/)󠁿 [fjordkommission](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fjordkommission/) octobre 8, 2018 Although it hasn’t been updated in years, this plugin is still working fine, even with WordPress 4.9.8. Through the Editor in the Appearance menu (« Design » in the German edition of WP) you can directly edit the plugin’s PHP file where you can set the text you wish to be displayed. Never worry about keeping your blog posts marked as updated. Simple and effective. Five stars all the way. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/91007eed81499da5d41498d94aed3a6ba662b0fda5a56f2367f5f3247c76ee6f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-5322/)󠁿 [hbirdofinet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hbirdofinet/) août 19, 2018 Works great, easy to customize wording, exactly what I was looking for.
