Question

I’ve imported a bunch of posts into a WordPress site that all have the exact same date. I’d like to edit the post dates so they are offset by one second.

My concern is that there may be a performance issue when all of the dates are the same.

Anyone know quick way to get this done using phpMyAdmin to edit the MySQL database or some other method?

Answer 1

You could set them all to be ‘now’ + id.

It might look like;

 UPDATE  wp_posts  SET     createdDate = DATE_ADD(now(), INTERVAL wp_posts.wp_id SECOND);
