Now that you know how to change the date of a post, let’s discuss in which cases would it prove to be helpful:
1. Revising the publish date can make a post appear as a recent one. For example, imagine that you wrote a post a couple of months ago on a trend that faded away fairly quickly. However, now, that trend is back in style, and you believe your post could educate people about it.
But who would like to read a months-old post when there is fresh content available, right? This is where changing the publish date can prove to be valuable.
2. Scheduling a post to be published in the future saves you the trouble of remembering the time and date on which a post needs to go live.
3. Have you published a post recently but don’t consider it worthy enough to be shown on the first page? Just change its publish date to an earlier one.
