 * hi!
    I’m preparing some retro blog with events from the begining of the 20 century.
   So I set post date for example on 20 Jan 1923. The date are stored correctly 
   in the database but it is displayed as 1969-12-31. When I test it on localhost
   it looks OK but in the server I got strange 1969-12-31. I suppose that there 
   is some conversion date to integer. How could I fix it??.

    Fixing PHP? 😉 Seriously, that’s a limitation of PHP.
   See this thread: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/5802?replies=10](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/5802?replies=10)
   and you can also google for “date before 1969”.
