Change Last Modified Date

Beschreibung

Using this plugin you can easily change or prevent updating the last modified date for each post. Controlling the last modified date can come in handy when you would like to control „order by last modified“ for posts (or custom post type).

When this plugin is active it will enable Last modified date options in Status & Visibility panel in sidebar. Changing the modified date can be done by clicking the date link and selecting a new date for the post. It’s also possible to disable future updates of the last modified date by setting the „Freeze modified date“ option to on.

Custom post types support

To update the last modified date, plugin is using „rest_pre_insert_{$post_type}“ hook which is executed before „init“ where other custom post types are usually registered. This is the reason why plugin is not aware of any additional post types other than those registered by WordPress core. To support additional post types you can add constant in following format to wp-config.php:

define( 'CLM_DATE_POST_TYPES', ['post-type-slug-1', 'post-type-slug-2'] );

Custom post types are also required to have „custom-fields“ support declared.

I was looking for something to change the modified date or „freeze“ it completely when I made only minor changes. This plugin ticks all boxes and works great so far. The „freeze“ option works well but I have to test a bit more. So far I’m happy.

I use the current WordPress version 6.1.1 with the Astra Pro theme (and Spectra). I could change the Last Updated Date on all my Posts using this plugin. You just have to be aware that if you change something else in a post, then the date will be updated to the current point in time, and you have to change it back, unless you use the „Freeze modified date“ option.

Would love to use this plugin, but it doesn’t work with the „classic editor“ anymore. The author suggests using an earlier release, but I went back to version 1.3 and 1.2, and neither of them worked for me either. I code and manage a lot of commercial websites, and none of them uses Gutenberg, it’s too easy for clients to mess up sites with it.

We love this little plugin. It does not add much overhead to the admin interface and simply does it’s job.
