Works like a charm – despite that it's old.

September 3, 2016

There’s a saying that well written clean code will always work. This plugin is just such a case in point. Last updated over 4 years ago but it works 100% perfect on Wordpress 4.5.2. I needed a very simple widget to show my last updated posts on the frontpage in a widget and it does just that … and it does it perfectly too. A perfect little widget to let search engines know which of your content is no longer stale anymore. Thank you !!!
