Can You Backdate a Post on WordPress?

Backdating a post on WordPress is possible, but it does require a few steps and some configuration. The easiest way to backdate a post is to use the “date” function in your post’s content editor.

You can also use the “date_time” filter in your post’s custom fields to specify a date and time.

To backdate a post using the “date” function, you’ll need to first identify the post’s published date. To do this, go to your blog’sPosts menu, and click on the post you want to backdate.

On the post’s individual page, you’ll see a tab called “Date Published.” The date published date is the date and time your post was initially published on your blog.

To backdate a post using the “date_time” filter, you’ll need to first identify the post’s published date and time. To do this, go to your blog’s Posts menu, and click on the post you want to backdate.” The date published date is the date and time your post was initially published on your blog, but the time may be different depending on the time zone your blog is in.

Next, you’ll need to find the post’s ID. The post’s ID is a number that’s assigned to each post when it’s first published.

To find the post’s ID, go to the Posts menu again, and click on the “Info” tab next to the post you want to backdate. The post’s ID will be listed under “Post ID.”.

Finally, you’ll need to use the “date_time” filter to backdate the post. To do this, open the post’s content editor, and enter the following code into the editor’s textarea:

date_time(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, ‘2017-12-01 19:00′);

This code will backdate the post to December 1, 2017 at 9:00pm.
