Issues backdating a blog post with content.schedule_dat

BRegan — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 13:24:05 GMT

My blog posts will not allow me to backdate, and this is important because I am migrating my website. Currently I have the following script in:

<time datetime="{{ content.schedule_date }}" class="blog-post__timestamp"> {{ content.schedule_date|datetimeformat('%B %e, %Y') }} </time>

This is rendering just the first date of the current month. Ex. when I was trying this in September it was making the date Sept 1. Now in October it is making the date Oct 1.

I have tried every possible adjustment that I can think of including content.updated (gives me last updated date), removing the date and adding it to the head tag of each blog. The problem with this is then I cannot have the blogs in the correct order on the blog listing page. Any ideas?

Hi @BRegan,
datetimeformat filter is deprecated now, so consider using the format_datetime or format_date filter instead for more flexible settings (docs).

This still isn't working for me 😕 just the wrong date in a different format. I have tried it in several ways that are listed inthe article you linked.
