Retain publish date

Hi aotyehel. Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been up to my eyes in it!

You can achieve this by adding the following code into your functions.php file:

PLEASE NOTE: In order for this to work you have to have the default destination post status set to publish. I have added the code in the snippet below to auto set this ‘publish’ behaviour:

function get_published_date($mpd_process_info){

  $mpd_process_info['post_date'] = get_post_field('post_date', $mpd_process_info['source_id']);
 
  return $mpd_process_info;
}

add_filter('mpd_source_data', 'get_published_date');

function set_published_date($mdp_post, $mpd_process_info){

  $mdp_post['post_date'] = $mpd_process_info['post_date'];
  $mdp_post['post_status'] = 'publish';
 
  return $mdp_post;

}

add_filter('mpd_setup_destination_data', 'set_published_date', 10,2);
