Title: Invalid date Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Invalid date * Resolved [hejeva2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hejeva2/) * (@hejeva2) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/) * I have a custom date field added to my posts. After I enter a date (using the calendar popup picker) Let’s say I choose September 14, 2012 and update the post. It saves the post and displays the content of the field as ‘1347580800’ and on the front end displays ‘March 14, 0800’ * This has been working until the plugin was ugraded to 1.2. Is there a fix for this or do I have to roll back to previous version. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/types/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/types/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Bigul Malayi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbigul/) * (@mbigul) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/#post-3562532) * Hi hejeva, * It is working fine for me.

It didn’t help and the issue is there there. * I don’t think its rare or I have found a way to hit the bug frequently because 9 out of the first 50 posts have the issue. * [Joseneas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enoquenroll/) * (@enoquenroll) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/#post-3562684) * They have made available a new version, but did not correct the error with the field of type date. * Let’s wait for the next version, because the plugin is very good! * My question is: WordPress has an option to set the date format (which I believe is in accordance with the user’s region) and because the plugins do not use this definition? * What is the definition of default date if the plugins do not use this feature of the WordPress API? * [yiannisf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yiannisf/) * (@yiannisf) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/#post-3562687) * Hi there! * I run into the same issue myself. I am running WP v2.5.1 and the Types plugin v1.2.1 which I used to create a custom post type to which I added two custom date fields. Both these date fields seem to have an issue with some specific dates. * For example if I input the date 2012/11/22 and hit the update button on the admin panel, the value on the admin panel is replaced with 1353542400 which translates to 2400/03/25 on the blog. * I am pretty sure that the fact that part of the wrong date is part of today’s date (03/25) is somehow relevant, but I am not sure how. * Also note that this does not happen with all the dates. * [Bigul Malayi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbigul/) * (@mbigul) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/#post-3562695) * Hi All, * Sorry for the issues. We will fix the bug in Types 1.3. Our developers are working on it. * _[ [Signature moderated](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Signatures).]_ * [yiannisf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yiannisf/) * (@yiannisf) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-date/#post-3562696) * That’s good to know! * In the meantime could someone post a link from where I could download version 1.1.3.4 so that I rollback to it? * Is there any rough estimation about when this new version will be available? * thx!
