post_date not importing
-
I am really struggling with the plugin. First it does not import external images, which is a real hassle. But I was able to solve that by changing URL stem.
However, the most frustrating issue currently is that the post_date is not importing. I have tried every format there is. It always takes the current date / time stamp, not the date and or time in the post_date column of the CSV. I used the exact format in your sample CSV, I also tried the standard SQL format. I must have done like 10 different formats. Extremly time intensive. I have wasted hours on this. So frustrating.
Importing a date successfully should be a straightforward procedure in any plugin. But in this plugin importing date DOES NOT WORK!

Hi
Thank you for reaching out to us.For images, this plugin supports two methods: either import them into the Media Library first and use their URL like https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/my-cat.jpg
or upload them to your domain somewhere plugin and use their URL, plugin will add them to the Media Library like
https://yourdomain.com/images/my-cat.jpg
We are also planning to add support for external images in a future release.If you are trying to import posts and custom posts, the column name will be post_date if you are importing pages, it will be page_date and if you are importing products, the column to use is product_date
The plugin is importing dates correctly, as we have just checked and confirmed.Please check a screenshot.

Please note that post_date imports only the date, without a specific time. Currently its importing posts with specified date with current time. We will add time support in a future update.
Example data
Month/Day/Year —> 12/05/2022
Day/Month/Year –> 20/04/2021
Please let me know if you need further assistance.Thank you
