Can You Change the Date on WordPress Posts?

Yes, you can change the date on WordPress posts. To do this, first locate the post you want to change the date on.

Next, locate the date field in the post’s edit screen. You will see a date picker interface similar to the one below.

Select the date you want to use from the calendar and click “Update.” If the post has been published, WordPress will update the post’s published date.

Otherwise, WordPress will update the post’s modified date.
