Recentemente, um de nossos usuários perguntou se era possível fazer a retroatividade de suas publicações no WordPress. A resposta é SIM. O WordPress permite que você altere as datas de todas as postagens que escrever. Você pode publicar uma postagem com data e hora atuais, retroagir para uma data e hora passadas ou até mesmo programar postagens para serem publicadas no futuro. Neste artigo, mostraremos como retroagir a data de suas postagens no WordPress.
Tutorial em vídeo
Se você não gostar do vídeo ou precisar de mais instruções, continue lendo.
Comece editando a postagem que deseja retroagir na área de administração do WordPress.
Na tela do editor de posts, sob a meta-caixa Publicar, você verá a opção de publicar o post imediatamente. Logo ao lado dela, há um link de edição. Ao clicar no link de edição, serão exibidas as configurações de data e hora da postagem.
Usando as configurações de data e hora, você pode escolher qualquer data e hora no passado ou no futuro. A escolha de uma data e hora futuras permitirá que você programe a publicação do post para esse horário.
Por outro lado, a escolha de uma data e hora no passado atualizará a data e alterará a posição da postagem nas páginas de arquivo do seu site. Por exemplo, se você alterar o mês de uma postagem de junho para janeiro, ela aparecerá na página de arquivo mensal de janeiro, mesmo que você tenha acabado de publicar essa postagem. A postagem também aparecerá de acordo na página de listagem de todas as postagens na área de administração.
Isso é particularmente útil quando você deseja publicar um artigo, mas não quer que ele apareça na página inicial do seu site. Você pode simplesmente retroagir a data para uma data anterior à última postagem na primeira página do site.
Como mostrar a data da última atualização
Alguns usuários acreditam que devem remover completamente as datas de seus blogs para enganar os mecanismos de pesquisa e fazê-los acreditar que seu conteúdo não é sensível ao tempo e está sempre atualizado.
Discordamos totalmente dessa opinião. Isso não ajuda no SEO do seu site e é péssimo para a experiência do usuário. Consulte nosso artigo sobre por que você não deve remover datas das publicações do seu blog no WordPress para obter mais informações sobre esse tópico.
No WPBeginner, mostramos a data da última atualização de um artigo em vez da data de publicação. As datas da última atualização são particularmente úteis para sites em que o conteúdo é atualizado regularmente. Veja como mostrar a data da última atualização em suas postagens de blog do WordPress.
Localize o código que mostra a data e a hora da postagem nos arquivos do tema (geralmente em loop.php ou single.php). Em seguida, substitua-o por este código:
Last updated on <time datetime="<?php the_modified_time('Y-m-d'); ?>"><?php the_modified_time('F jS, Y'); ?></time>
Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a aprender como retroagir a data das publicações no WordPress. Talvez você também queira consultar nosso guia sobre como exibir datas relativas no WordPress.

ery useful, thanks! Question: if I update with a date in the past, the post will move into the corresponding archive month. How does it affect Google Analytics stats?
WPBeginner Support says
It should not have a major effect on your site’s SEO.

Is there a way to backdate assets uploaded to the media library? Can’t see an edit button next to the dates. Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for the information.
I am in search to find how to not permit the user to backdating. Is it possible somehow?
Kind Regards,
WPBeginner Support says
You would want your users to have a user role level where they need post approval for what it sounds like you’re wanting
Administrador
GEORGE says
Could you please explain this to me further? How to achieve this?
WPBeginner Support says
For more on user roles and permissions you would want to take a look at our article below:

Hello! I did exactly what the video show. However, when I publish my post, it show the backdate and the current date. What am I doing wrong?
WPBeginner Support says
Your theme may have custom styling, you would want to reach out to the support for your specific theme and they should be able to assist.

Yolanda Ridge says
Since switching my site from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, my blog entries now show date of publication and date of creation. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
That would be determined by your theme rather than the platform your site is on. If you reach out to your theme’s support they should be able to assist.

We’re reviewing some very old blog posts on our site. There are some posts that are still relevant or will be with some minor editing, that we don’t necessarily want to re-publish, but we want them to appear more current by having a more recent date. Can we change the date on the post to be a date in the more recent past without triggering the RSS Feed as having a new post? If it is possible, is it wise to do so, SEO wise?
WPBeginner Support says
For that type of update, we would recommend displaying a last updated date for your users and updating the date should not trigger your RSS normally.

Hello,
If I am just going start my WP blog, can I backdate a post to prior to the date I started the blog site? For example: I start my new blog Jan 5th 2020, can I have my posts start in June 2019? I want to add lots of value and posts but don’t want it to appear that I just started my blog now. Is this possible in WP?
Thank you.
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, if you wanted to do that you certainly could

Hi, I have a question, will backing date or editing Publish Date to a more recent date affect SEO? I mean search engines may know the real publish date of a post, and may view the action of adjusting date as cheating. Or I’m just too suspicious? Thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
If you are updating the post to a newer date rather than back dating then it can bee bad for your SEO.

Rahul Rai says
If I want to update my old post and change the publish date to current date…will that post display new date in google search result? Or should i depend on last updated feature which btw doesn’t show on top of my category bcz of old publish time ?
Thank you
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to reach out to the support for your theme for replacing the published date with the last updated date to have google no longer be able to find the publish date.

Is this feature available on free domain WordPress, or it is about a premium account?

How can I sort posts like I can select categories from a dropdown? : author, timestamp, event date, published date.

If you mean on the front end of the site, you could use a plugin like the one from our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-let-users-filter-posts-and-pages-in-wordpress/

I have switched to WordPress 5.1.1. I have a family history blog and I put the posts back when the event actually happened. So I was just entering my father’s graduation in 1959. But the new editor would not let me put in a year before about 1970. I switched back to the old editor as you describe in this blog and the problem went away. But I prefer the new editor. I do not know how to raise this as a bug/feature request.
WPBeginner Support says
For dates before January 1st 1970 you would want to use a custom field to state the date rather than backdating using this method due to a limit in PHP

What I want to know is IF I can update the internal time or internal Hemisphere.
Something changed with the most recent update – when I asked it to schedule a post for 8:00am it would post at 8:00am. Now it’s posting it at 4:00am.
WPBeginner Support says
For setting your time zone you would want to check under Settings>General in your site settings.

How would this work on a bbpress forum page? I have added topics and replies (so are they custom posts?) recently and backdated them to, for example, September 2018 (it’s currently arch 5 2019).
When I view the Forum topics page, I see posts I just updated that have the September published dates. There are indeed more recently dated replies (from late February 2019). Those do not show first.
Any help with this much appreciated.
WPBeginner Support says
For reordering replies in those, you would want to reach out to bbpress’ support for their recommended method and they should be able to assist.

Is this still going to be possible with the Gutenberg editor?
Sandi says
This is exactly what I did, and while it says scheduled to publish on the date I chose in 2017, it still has the blog post set as a draft?
Jack says
I am very interested in this topic because I have been migrating a lot of legacy content from another CMS into Word Press, and prefer to use the original publish date.
I am able to change the publish date easily, but I have encountered one problem. After I re-publish my articles they show the posted date and not the original published date. This is problematic because my theme is showing the republished article as a new article, even if the original publication date is from five years ago. Is there a way I can get the published article to show the original publication date only. This could be confusing for my subscribers.
Hassan says
this is a great website for beginners, i always visit this site whenever i want to learn anything about wordpress.
regii blue says
is this article still available? I mean, if I edit an existing article, is the publish date going to be changed?
Haitham Alnaqeb says
No it should not be changed unless you edit the date, too.
Hopefully, I understood your question right.
Anant Anand Gupta says
Please tell me if i back date my post, will the images i have embedded in the post will also get backdated ?
Narinder kumar says
Thanks for sharing the great article I am really confused how to change my already published article date after reading your post I know that I am using the last date instead of publishing date it’s really helped me.
Mandy says
Thanks for the great article! Many times I’ve rescheduled posts forward, but, never thought of the advantage of back-dating them. I do have a question about rescheduling, if you don’t mind: Several of my blogs have received excellent comments, and when I rescheduled them forward the blog post showed that there were comments (say, 4) but, then no comments were displayed. I tried to copy and paste in the comments and author’s name into the new post comments section but, this didn’t work.
Is there any solution to this? Would the same problem happen with back-dating?
Thanks so much for your help!
Chidex says
Wow! This is exactly what i needed. Thanks for this post, it really helped me alot.
Sravani says
Hi WP Beginner,
I’m a big fan of your blog. Thank you for this post. I started a blog in 2010. And there are approx 100 articles till 2015. It is an education blog. So I wrote approx 2000 posts and backdated them, so that everyday from the starting day of the blog has 1 post. I use google adsense. Now I have fear that is this legal or illegal. I didn’t copy any other blog. But I’m afraid of adsense suspending me because of backdating.
Shall I keep them like that or shall I change these posts to 2016, in which I wrote all those posts?
WPBeginner Support says

Hi, I front dated my post vut it is not showing on my website. Can you please tell me why?
ex: I have a post published on 2nd January and I updated it today again, so I have changed the published to 5th Jan, so it should technically show inn today’s post on my site but it is not. Can you help me?
Lana says
Hmm.. my wordpress page looks different than the on in the video. It’s white not dark gray and with much less options on the left of the screen.
Si Retu says
Hi thanks again for the post… However is there any plugin that can help me to rearrange the date of the posts subsequently?
For example, I have 150 posts, then I want to reset the date for all post, each day contains 2 posts.
So today 2 post, yesterday 2 post, and so on
I also can change the number of 2 if maybe I want to set 3 post for each day. Is it possible and there is a plugin suitable for that?
If not, do you mind if you create a tutorial for that since my blog is evergreen type and I use old post highliter to recycle the date.
Thanks before…

I have tried this but, for some reason, I only have a few selected previous dates to choose from (1-Jan, 2-Feb, 3-Mar, 4-Apr etc). Any ideas on how I can have free access to previous dates?
Jenny says
Ah, great. Quite obvious really, but wasn’t sure if they would let you back-date. I am a journalist and wanting to publish old articles I’ve written, preferrably back-date them to the day they were printed, so this option is wonderful
Gayle says
Super helpful – thank you for posting!
Barney Davey says
Hi, thanks for all the useful info you publish. This article/video is a good example. Quick question. If I add some backdated posts can I keep them from being published on my RSS feed?
John says
And the most amazing thing is that you can even give a post a date before the internet existed
ken cooper says
In your recent article “Beginner’s Guide: How to Back Date Your WordPress Posts” in the section “How to Show Last Updated Date” you say the following:
———————————————————————-
Locate the code that shows the post’s date and time in your theme files (usually in loop.php or single.php). Next replace it with this code:
1 Last updated on <time datetime="”>
We hope this article helped you learn how to back date WordPress posts….
———————————————————————-
I would like to strongly disagreed with this concept! I have NEVER agreed with putting code in the theme files because when you update the theme it is gone and you have to redo the code – IF you remember to. To me this is trouble that is waiting to happen and it WILL happen. However, I suppose the code could go into a child theme but usually the child theme is created to handle style.css and finctions.php. But I suppose the loop.php or single.php could go into the child theme?
Thanks – Ken Cooper
WPBeginner Support says
Your Child Theme can have any template that your Parent Theme has. You can make this change into your child theme.
Administrador
Pat says
If one does not have a ChildTheme… I am using only 2014 default WordPress theme with pulugins, can I type code literally at the very bottom of the post being updated that provides the updated date jargon to satisfy the Google search for last updated dates? There seems to be no plugins that accomplish this.
WPBeginner Support says
You should consider creating a site-specific WordPress plugin.
