Frequently asked questions.
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 . 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 <?php do_shortcode( ); ?> . So to get the default display, just insert <?php do_shortcode( [lastupdated] ); ?>
