Update the order of blog posts

MTrask3 — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 19:27:28 GMT

I've seen a couple of older posts here so maybe this has been solved and I'm just not seeing how/where? It would be great to be able to manually update update dates or publish dates and then select how to you want your blog posts ordered. At a minimum, a way to select a featured post. When we converted to HubSpot we imported many blog posts but they all have the same publish date because of that so changing the dates, or having the ability to drag and drop posts in the order you'd like, would be amazing!! Anyone have a way to do this? 😊

Hi @MTrask3

You can manually edit the publish date of your posts by editing an individual post and then next to the orange "Update" button, click the triangle to find "Publishing options"

That will open up a date picker and you can set a date in the past - ideally when the blog post was originally published. You can either pick a date in the calendar or type in the date. Once that is selected, you will click "Update now" to make the change live.

Doing this will display your blog posts in order and the newest ones will display first.

Hope this helps!

Hi @BRegan,

If you are editing a web page, then you won't be able to select dates in the past.

However, I have checked the options for blog posts on multiple HubSpot portals and it still allows selecting a date in the past for publishing:

This does not work on blog posts. Past dates are greyed out just like BRegan posted in screenshot.

As Bokka said, this does not work on blog posts. However I have found a way that does. On the Edit Blog Post page, click the down arrow next to the 'Update' button at top right, then choose 'Scheduling Options':

The click the 'Schedule Update' button and a date picker calendar will open, with past dates available to be chosen. Choose a date/time then click 'Schedule' and you're done!
