## Beschreibung

Freshtag lets you manually set and display a custom „Last Modified“ date for any
post, page, or product.
 Instead of always showing the original publish date, you
can highlight recent updates — keeping your content looking fresh and relevant.

✅ Key Features:

 * Custom meta box in the post/page/product editor to manually set a „Last Modified“
   date
 * Automatically display the last modified date at the top or bottom of posts/pages
 * Hide the default WordPress „Published On“ date
 * Shortcode `[freshtag]` to place the date anywhere in your content
 * Works with posts, pages, and WooCommerce products
 * Simple setup — no coding required

This is especially useful for blogs, news sites, and e-commerce stores where keeping
content fresh builds **SEO trust** and **user confidence**.

**How To Use**

 * Option A — Auto-insert (no code)
    - In your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings  FreshTag.
    - Under Display Position, choose Above the post or Below the post.
    - Click Save and refresh your site. You’ll see “Last updated: …” at the location
      you selected.
 * Option B — Manual placement
    - Shortcode (Classic or Block Editor): [freshtag]

**How it works:** FreshTag reads the post’s Last Modified time (WordPress post_modified).
Update your post (or adjust the Last Modified meta on the edit screen, if enabled)
and the frontend will show the new “Last updated” time automatically.

### Freshtag Pro (Coming Soon)

FreshTag Pro turns FreshTag into a full freshness monitoring system.

Planned Pro features:

 * Outdated content monitoring for posts, pages and custom post
 * Email alerts when content becomes outdated
 * Auto‑update post dates (modified or publish)
 * Drip updates to spread refreshes over multiple days
 * Updated content history and logs

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/freshtag` directory, or install
    the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the „Plugins“ screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings > Freshtag** to configure display options (choose whether to show
    dates automatically at the top or bottom of posts).
 4. Edit any post, page, or product — you’ll see a **“Last Modified” meta box** where
    you can manually set the last modified date.
 5. (Optional) Use the shortcode `[freshtag]` anywhere in your content to display the
    modified date.

## FAQ

### Can I show the last modified date automatically?

Yes. In the plugin settings, you can choose to display it automatically at the top
or bottom of each post/page.

### Can I hide the original publish date?

Yes. By default, the plugin hides WordPress’s built-in “Published on” date.

### Does it work with WooCommerce products?

Yes. You can set and display last modified dates on products as well.

### What shortcode should I use?

Use `[freshtag]` to display the last modified date anywhere you want.
