   My site has running for almost a year now.

   Since the beginning of this year (2011), I discovered my 3 oldest posts were being automatically updated with the post date on the current day.

   I've gone in and edited the date back to the original post date on each of the articles and all was fine.

   When I check the next day, the post dates had changed again.

   I have no idea where to start checking this problem. I do have quite a few plugins running, but have no idea which one might be (or even is) responsible.

   Would be interesting if anyone else is having the same problem and/or a solution.

   I've tried disabling various plugins, but the problem is still happening.

   I have to go in daily to back date my oldest articles to their original posting date.

   Really wish I could find a solution.

   In a way, it's nice to know I'm not the only person with the problem.

   Just wish I could find a solution.

   In SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 plugin can you check just above "Save Changes" button you have the option "Promote old post with no search engine traffic:", is this option selected as "Yes" ?

   Never saw that option. I've now turned it off, so hopefully that was the issue.

   The plugin must have been updated at the beginning of 2011.

   It's obviously set "on" as the default, which doesn't seem like a sensible option at all.

   Good to know that you located the option. Do update here after few days if the problem is solved.

    The "problem" has now been solved (thank goodness).

    I can't believe that option is a default.

    Hi psundstrom,

    Since your problem is solved can you please update this post status as "resolved"? This update can be made in the right hand side column.

    Thanks,
    Teacher.
