Edit post time?

[nzlyoung]

Can anybody tell me if it's possible to edit the time of individual post?

You can change a post time by running a query on the db

UPDATE post SET dateline = UNIX_TIMESTAMP('YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM') WHERE postid = {your post}

Be sure to back up first.

You can get the postid of a post by mousing over the Edit link.

Come on..... Plz be gentle with a newbie. What is the postid and how can I change the time with it?

This question has been answered. You find the postid by placing your mouse over the 'edit' link and looking at the URL in the browser window. Then to change the time you need to run the query vBR posted.

To run queries you need phpMyAdmin. PhpMyAdmin is a MySQL database management tool. Most web hosts provide this as part of the web site management tools such as CPanel, Plesk or Ensim. Look for a link to SQL or MySQL Databases. If you can't find it I suggest you ask your host about this.

If for some reason they do not provide phpMyAdmin or an equivalent MySQL manager, then you can download and install phpMyAdmin yourself from this location:
