Local Last Update

Ever wonder which plugins on your site haven’t been touched in years? Local Plugin Last Update adds a “Last Updated” column to your WordPress plugins list that shows the last time each plugin’s files were modified on your server.

Unlike the “last updated” date shown in the plugin repository (which reflects when the author released a new version), this plugin shows you the actual file modification date on your installation — making it a practical tool for auditing stale plugins, identifying what changed after a bulk update, or just keeping tabs on your site.

Features:

  • Adds a “Last Updated” column to the Plugins admin screen
  • Dates reflect real file modification times on your server
  • Column header is clickable — sort ascending or descending by date
  • Update-notice rows stay correctly paired with their plugin when sorting
  • Lightweight — one PHP file, no database queries, no external requests
  • No settings page needed — works immediately on activation
