Custom dates not recognized on posts
-
Hi, I have a need to create posts (not timeline events) using the custom start date field. That way, our posts can work properly with our site’s theme in the ways that we want while also simultaneously showing up on the timeline.
The problem I’m having here is that when I create a post and give it a custom date, the resulting timeline only recognizes the post date and not the custom date. When I create an actual Timeline Event, the custom date is picked up properly.
I understand that the idea behind putting posts on a timeline is probably to show a graphical visualization of “Recent Posts,” but if the custom fields are present for posts, they should all be utilized, no?
Also, I should note that we are using historical dates (before 1915); those are working fine for timeline events if I enter the dates manually.
Can you advise as to 1) whether there may be a simple solution that I’m just missing or 2) where to begin looking for code modifications?
