Pending review post date

Hi Stephanie,

First I want to tell you that we started using the forms on live website and now we have more than 100 posts and everything is working great. Today I tried to add date field to set the post date through that field – users need posts with publish date in the past.  Posts are then submited with pending review status. When I open the post on the full editor I dont see the date user selected and it shows like today date. If I publish the post it goes with today date. But  when I open the post from the quick edit I can see the date that user selected and publish the post with that specific date.

Do you have any advice for this problem ?

Thanks

I think this is working the way WordPress intends it to. Posts cannot be scheduled in the past. When a post is published, if the post date is in the past, it automatically changes it the the current date. I'm not sure if there's a way around this, but you can try Google or WordPress forums. There may be a plugin or an easy way to override the default behavior.
