Display Posts Shortcode / Post Date Glitch
-
I use the display posts shortcode (https://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/) to create a series of posts. It has been working great, but I ran into a problem and hope there is a workaround. I posted my latest in the series today, and for whatever reason (probably due to inadvertent tweaking in the draft stage), it posted to July 1st, over a month ago (which I didn’t think was possible). Once I figured out what happened (which took a while), I changed the post date. However, in my list, my #11 now displays up between 5 and 6, because I use the date modifier to determine their order. So, even though it is posted today (8/16), the shortcode is somehow using the ORIGINAL post date that I screwed up.
Any way to make it use the current post date, or to modify the post date in the post (beyond what I already did)?
The shortcode is used at the end of every series post, and on its own project page. It looks like this:
[display-posts category='structure-series-writing' posts_per_page='-1' include_date='true' order='ASC']Here is the project page, for reference: https://kjottinger.wordpress.com/current-projects/story-structure-series/
Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hi,
The 8/16 post is presently displaying as the last (11th) post in the list on the Story Structure Series page. The list is displaying in the same order on posts. See for example: -

I see that… I guess you’re right and it took a bit to convert itself over. Thanks anyway!
Whew… that was an easy fix!
