Hi sorry , does not work.

Is this possible?

WordPress Codex : Function Reference/the modified time and Last Modified Timestamp

hi again, sry for being so dumb must be age related. It is not me that’s wishes to know when page was updated/ modified it is my reader/visitor. Or am I missing something?

You choose one of the examples (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/the_modified_time#Examples) and put the code in a template, such as single.php, and this will show on the site so that people can see the last updated time.

This plugin – Last Modified Timestamp – “Adds the last modified time to the admin interface as well as a [last-modified] shortcode to use on the front-end.” (front end being whatever template you put this in)

From the Plugin’s FAQ:

To customize the output with a shortcode, use the attributes as described above.

…and…

Template Tags

Models the function naming convention used by WordPress for get_the_content / the_content and similar functions.

get_the_last_modified_timestamp() – returns timestamp.
the_last_modified_timestamp() – displays/echos the timestamp.
