 * I uploaded an image, and it says I uploaded it Jan1 1970!!! LoL What on earth?
   
   This pops up in the “Edit Gallery” window, right under the title. My wordpress
   date is correct.

 * Same for me, as well as thumbnails not displaying and also getting an error that
   says ‘a failure occurred’ – it’s all going wrong for me.

 * Hey – as noted in the linked issue, we’ve pushed out a long-overdue fix for this.
   Please accept my apologies for the delay.
 * You can also fix the dates for images you’ve already uploaded by going to Manage
   Gallery, selecting the images, selecting “Import Meta” from the drop down, and
   applying. That will re-import all meta data, including the correct dates.
 * Thanks.
