Display the “Last Modified” date on posts, pages, and products to signal freshness, boost SEO, and increase visitor trust

== Description ==

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* Outdated content monitoring for posts, pages and custom post
* Email alerts when content becomes outdated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.
