 * Hi there!
 * I migrated my blog from one site to another, and when I did so it brought along
   all of the photos into my media library. However, the dates are now all the month
   that I did the migration, instead of the date the photo was added/created.
 * Would it be possible to be able to modify the added date–or add a new column 
   for a created date that could either come from EXIF data or be able to be modified?
 * Thanks in advance!
    Susan

 * Thanks for your question, which first came up quite a while ago:
 * [Modify upload date?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/modify-upload-date)
 * As I outlined in that topic I don’t like modifying fields that WordPress might
   use in a variety of ways. You wrote “**_ add a new column for a created date…_**”
   Here’s a topic along those lines:
 * [Schedule attachment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/schedule-attachment?replies=5#post-5215835)
 * For your application you can change the Data Source in step 5. Change the Data
   Source dropdown to “–Template (see below) –” and then enter something like `[
   +exif:DateTimeOriginal+]` or whatever element you want to use as the source.
 * I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have problems or
   further questions regarding the solutions derived from the earlier topics. I 
   can give you whatever specific help you need to complete your application. Thanks
   for your interest in the plugin.
