Hi,

I'm currently working on migrating a website from J2.5 to J3.6.

I've nearly finished, but I've got a few Easyblog posts to copy across from the old site (rather than export/import the database tables again).

How can I change the date on a blog post to say an old date please?

I can't find the Creation date in the Easyblog backend when opening a post and I've even tried changing the date in the xxx_easyblog_post database table but this hasn't worked either.

I'm very confused, please help!!

Many thanks,

Dave.
Hello David,

When editing or composing a new blog post, you can change the dates as shown in my screen shot here, http://take.ms/JI7KO

If this is not visible to you, then it's most likely that you have turned this off in the settings. Go to Settings > General > Composer and ensure that the option "Allow Modification Of Creation Date" is enabled.
