a post with two dates (original publication and my post date)

    Is there a way to have a post with two dates. I have an archive of source material. I currently have the post date set to the date it was originally published. Generally this works, but if I go to make a block that lists my most recent posts, they are not listed because it was posted a long time ago.

    So for instance, I have a post here: https://superqueerhistory.com/deon-de-beaumont/primary-deon-de-beaumont/chevalier-deon-or-the-stock-brokers-ourwitted/

    (yes, I know it is a long URL. I’ll work on fixing that later…)

    Anyway, it was published in London Evening Post on Sept 1, 1771. So, that is the date I set things to. For my archive, this puts it in the order I want, but I’d like to also have a list of my most recent posts, and have them be order by when I actually posted them…

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I went ahead and fixed the link. I figured, why wait?

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host superqueerhistory.com on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions. You can learn more about the performance and security benefits of our managed hosting here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, and we offer a migration plugin that will help you move your site to our managed hosting in just a few clicks.

    The Move to WordPress.com plugin allows you to start migrating a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com directly from the self-hosted site. Prerequisites The Move to WordPress.com plugin installed on your self-hosted WordPress site. All incompatible plugins deactivated on the self-hosted site. ✅ There is no need to create a site on WordPress.com before you get star

    Unfortunately though, as it stands now, we are not able to help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help.

    Thanks!
