    It used to be that whenever I published a revision, it would set the publish date to today.

    After I updated to v2.7.9, whenever I publish a revision, it sets the publish date to the date the revision post was originally created.

    Furthermore, in settings, there is no option to set the date to today on merging.

    Hello!

    “Furthermore, in settings, there is no option to set the date to today on merging.”

    There should be setting called:

    Merging > Merge date with revision
    – No, keep original post’s date
    – Yes, after revision acceptance, replace date

    Is this option not visible for you?

    Hi – I think I found more info on where the bug is coming from! It’s pretty complicated.

    We do have the “Yes, after revision acceptance, replace date.” selected, but I figured out that the issue is not coming from this option.

    Usually, when you create a revision post, it sets the revision post publish date to “Immediately”. (see screenshot)

    However, I noticed that on some of the revision post, the publish date is set to a random date. It’s not the same date as the revision post was created. It’s a date that the revision post was edited. (see screenshot)

    This lead me to this discovery. I noticed that the Publish date on revision posts changes randomly while the revision post is being edited. I had it change on me when I clicked Publish, then Cancel, then Save Draft. I was not able to replicate it when I tried recording a screencast.

    Maybe some JS call is causing a collision, or maybe auto-save is causing the publish date to alter.

    I found that clicking on Trash triggers auto-save and changes the Publish date.

    As mentioned earlier, something else is also causing the Publish date to change on random intervals for all our editors. I cannot seem to pinpoint the issue.

    Hi!
    I am not able to replicate this behaviour.

    Could you contact us and send the whole system info file from settings -> tools.

    It would be even better if you could give us an access to your /wp-admin.

    Please contact us on service@themastercut.co.
    I am looking forward for your message.

    Hi, I am not able to provide admin access. We’ll work on our end to determine the cause and will keep you updated.
