Dates of publication wrong

  I have a lot of draft posts, some of which were written in BlogDesk (Windows) or ScribeFire for Firefox. The date is set for scheduling at a date before today, when actually I want to publish them immediately when I click publish, and I want the date of publication to show as the date when I published them. Several previously published posts have ended up with dates that are wrong (too early). I would like to be able to remove the date below the draft post and change the setting back to ‘Publish Immediately’ but this doesn’t seem to be possible. Someone else has had this problem but found no solution (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/default-to-publish-immediately?replies=11#post-537015). Can you help?

  Hi there,

  It sounds like the date is being sent by the program itself.

  In this case, you’d need to sign into your WordPress.com dashboard and reschedule the posts manually:

  You might consider contacting the developers of the programs you’re using, as it may be a bug on their end.

  Thanks. I had hoped to remove the date completely, but as it seems that isn’t possible I will make sure I check and amend the date every time I am ready to publish a post.
