 * Hello!
 * I have a self-installed version of wordpress and I used a YouTube importer to
   import my videos as posts to add to my timeline.
 * If I look at one of them now, it has the Last Modified date of Sept. 15, 2012(
   for example.) I can click on quick edit, and change it from “pending” to “published”
   and the date of the post is Sept. 15. 2012.
 * But, when I edit a bunch of posts at once (bulk edit) and tell them all to be
   published, it changes the published date to today, and changes it from its original
   publish date that came from YouTube.
 * Any ideas on how to mass publish these pending posts but keep their original 
   publish dates like when I do them one at a time?
 * Thanks a ton!
