  Good morning. I have seen, more than once, that the “posted” date displayed at the top of posts is incorrect. For example, the latest post was published on 30 January 2015. The URL reflects the date the draft was initiated; I understand that. But there is a random, unconnected date showing at the top of the screen that I cannot seem to edit.

  “Posted on 3 January 2015 by Katrina Stovold”

  https://questionsandtea.wordpress.com/2015/01/25/the-dirt-on-prismatic/

  Actual publication date: 30 January 2015
  URL (draft) date: 25 January 2015
  Displayed posted date: 3 January 2015

  Can you tell me why this would be and how to correct it? This blog is mainly for academic work and assignments. I need my instructors to be able to view correct information.

  Thank you.

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

  That’s interesting. You should be able to simply Edit the post and that will change, provided you check, and change if necessary, the “scheduled or published” time/date.

  Did you publish via an app, or copy paste or anything other than type straight into the Write Post box?

  Doesn’t change with edits. Published directly through the site using Chrome. I copied and pasted some of the quotes, but everything else was typed in manually.

  Happened again, this time with a post that was freshly created and posted on the same day:
  https://questionsandtea.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/wp_date-issue.jpg

  It was created on the 15th, as reflected in the URL (https://questionsandtea.wordpress.com/2015/02/15/dabbling-openstreetmap/), but is displaying the 3rd of February.

  Help? Please? Thank you.

  Thank you. I decided to look and look again, and I figured it out. It was operator error. Somehow I got a number instead of a letter into the custom date format. Sorry to have bothered you.

  Please mark this as resolved. Thank you again.
