Title: Updated Plugin Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Updated Plugin * [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/) * Is there a plugin that allows you to type the updates you’ve made into a box ? Or automatically do it somehow *wishful thinking* * I guess that I could just use the “list” plugin huh?

Updates to the site design? Updates to the backend or what? * Clarification here might be useful =) * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246761) * updates to anything. you can type in and select a category *site design, backend, posts* and type in what it was and it will record the date…. * im guessing this hasnt been done yet…lol * [Jon Dingman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdingman/) * (@jdingman) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246767) * Maybe you’re looking for something we call ‘asides’. There are a few plugins out there for it. * [Check out google](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wordpress+plugin+asides&btnG=Google+Search) for it and you’ll be able to find some stuff about it. Hope this helps. Post back if you’re looking for something else.. * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246774) * courtneyeliz., I think that is a great idea. I have not seen that plugin in all my looking so far. * I’m not sure which you mean, could be both….. One to help you “comment your code” just to remind yourself what areas you changed (like when inserting new tags used by a certain plugin), so that when Upgrade to WP 1.6 comes, it will be easier to keep track of your customizations. I’ve been advised to comment my code using/* and */ (I think). * Second, a plugin that renders a Site Updates list on your “About” page, for example, Site last updated: August 9th; pages updated: link, link, link, link Aug. 9th— I added pictures to my Gallery (link)! Aug. 7th — Got a bunch of new Plugins for this website. Aug. 5th — Installed new theme called XYZ Aug. 3rd — Working on my CSS; uploaded an mp3 file of grandpa July 29th — I installed WordPress software * Anything like (either)? * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246791) * that’s exactly what I’m talking about…. * date – what was updated…. * but I havent found it anywhere… * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246796) * Right now I just do it by hand on a Page * but I like your idea of using the List plugin, cuz it lets you insert your List in a post or a page I think. * BTW I see you have changed your design again C.E. 😉 * [Denis de Bernardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis-de-bernardy/) * (@denis-de-bernardy) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246811) * [http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-updates/](http://www.semiologic.com/projects/recent-updates/) * [billsaysthis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billsaysthis/) * (@billsaysthis) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246824) * Denis, I wonder if your plugin actually captures this request. The FRU lists pages, posts or both (per user config) that have recently changed while Courtney is looking to make a list explaining a given change. * The idea that occurs to me, as I’m typing, is to have a separate category called Site Updates (or your choice) and exclude the category from the front page. No need for a plugin this way, less code generally being better. * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246851) * Hey Bill, * I’d like it to actually be included in an area in the sidebar…so that it lists the updates…..like a block….and you could limit the amount of updates you wanted listed….. * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-246852) * sure did @ Dgold * [billsaysthis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billsaysthis/) * (@billsaysthis) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-247054) * Courtney, well, there’s probably a way to do the same category thing with links so they show up in the sidebar. My main point is that Denis’ plugin, despite being a quality (and free!) bit of code, is not going to give you what you’re after. * [Denis de Bernardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denis-de-bernardy/) * (@denis-de-bernardy) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-247058) * [@bill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bill/): true, but it’s probably close enough for elisabeth’s purpose: * sem_recent_updates(‘include_posts=true’); * will display a list of recently updated posts and pages. anything more than that would require a rather significant engineering effort because we’d need to keep track of diffs. * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-247059) * *sigh* thanks guys…. * I guess, i just want to be able to type a list somewhere…and have a cute little header for the section and that’d be it… * i’m thinking the list plugin will be the best way….. * *cheese* Thanks again… * [billsaysthis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billsaysthis/) * (@billsaysthis) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-247060) * Denis, not to quibble but your plugin (which is fine, don’t get me wrong) will give a list of recent posts or pages or both that have changed but Courtney wants to make a list of custom notes explaining what change has been made. IAC, I won’t belabor the point further. * Thread Starter [courtneyelizabeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/courtneyelizabeth/) * (@courtneyelizabeth) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-plugin/#post-247128) * exactly….@ Bill…thanks for clarifying that.
