  Hello – my blog posts are showing an incorrect posting date. I just searched this forum and found a response about changing time zones in my General Settings. I just did that as indeed my time zone was incorrect, AND I saved the changes. I went back to check my post and the date was still incorrect. Suggestions for correcting this?

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

  Changing the time zone for your site doesn’t retroactively correct the post time on published posts, I don’t believe. I think you have to use the classic editor to change the post times. I tried this on one of my blogs and I did have to edit each individual post’s publish time. Ugh!

  Thanks so much, Susanhayse! Next question – how do I use the classic editor? Where do I find it?

  My Sites > WP Admin. That should land you in the admin area of your site where you can go to Posts and choose the post you want to edit. Click the Edit link by Publish Immediately over in the right toolbar and you should be able to change the publishing time. :)
