From the developer
Maor Chasen's own description of Plugin Activation Date, lightly tidied.
Current features:
- Adds a new column on the plugins dashboard screen that shows when each plugin was activated, only if PAD was installed before
- Control whether you’d like to see a relative date or a “regular” date as set under Settings > General
While by default the date & time settings are being used, you can always change the date format by filtering ‘pad_date_time_format’. For instance:
<?php
add_filter( 'pad_date_time_format', 'my_pad_date_time_format' );
function my_pad_date_time_format( $date_format ) {
return 'm-d-Y';
}
