post_date is not working

Hi Plugin Author,

Why have you seen and ignored this question ? If your plugin does not have this capacity, then simply say, we can’t do this. OK. There are lots of plugin and we will surely find something.

Don’t fear to say the truth.

I think you understand it better.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. Can you please try with this format “03/10/13 04:55” for post_date. I hope it will resolve your issue.

Thanks.

@vkumar14, we are loaded with no. of supports for all of our plugins. Some takes time for testing and provide right solution. Some can be easily resolved straight away. Hope you can understand.

@plugin Author, yes I understand it.

But what now, do you come to any solution to my problem ?

Check it, it was already given. 03/10/13 04:55 can be used as date format.

Hi, I’m having similar problems with importing post_date. I had the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM which worked OK in v3.6.1 of the plugin. Upgraded to 3.6.4 and it set every post to 1970-0-0 00:00. I changed the format to DD/MM/YY HH:MM as suggested above, same result. Downgraded to 3.6.1 and dates import OK.

Something seems to have broken between 3.6.1 and 3.6.4 (I didn’t use any of the intermediate releases) – please can you advise? Thanks.

Kindly provide the year format as YYYY instead of YY. I hope it will resolve your issue.

I’m afraid that doesn’t fix it. I’ve reinstalled 3.6.4 and tried it with the post_date field in my import data set to:

DD/MM/YY HH:MM
DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

I tried all of them with and without :SS on the end of the time and also tried enclosing the field in “”.

In all cases post_date is set to 1970-01-01 00:00 for all records. Help! Thanks.

Kindly check with our Sample CSv. And update us back.

Same problem with your sample CSV, see following extract of the import log. If it helps, I’m importing a custom post type but your sample CSV fails to import the date whether as a regular post or custom post.

Ok. Can you please share your sample csv file with few records. We will check in our testing environment and update you back.

Thanks

OK, header plus three records follow – if you need more please tell me where to upload a file.

The final two fields are both the post_date – I’ve included two different formats to facilitate debugging, I’m just importing one or the other in my tests.
