Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 7, 20231 yr I'm moving an old blog to the platform, and until some time ago when I created a new blog it allowed me to choose a date even in the past. Now it won't let me post again until today or a later date. Is it possible to deactivate this setting and restore the possibility of publishing on past dates?

But seriously, we do not support direct SQL queries, nor would we support any aftermath of running them so be sure to take backups 🙂 .
November 7, 20231 yr You can also use the REST API to create blog entries (might make more sense too if you're importing a lot of data). You can specify the date this way. https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=blog/entries/POSTindex

If you have multiple records to edit, it's easiest with a query.
