Matteo Fi Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 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?

I'm afraid, this is not a current feature of the software. If you want to publish a content piece in the past, it will require customization.

If you're self-hosted, you can do it in the database. IPS will say they do not recommend this. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, we do not support direct SQL queries, nor would we support any aftermath of running them so be sure to take backups 🙂 .

Stuart Silvester Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have multiple records to edit, it's easiest with a query. Matteo Fi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
