    The order that forum posts are displayed are set by the date they are entered. That date is given at the very top of the forum post. Sometimes it would be nice to alter these dates for various reasons. Is it possible to provide a feature where the dates can be adjusted much like you can in Blog posts.

    Hello @supernova42

    At the moment I dont plan to implement an option which allow you to change the date because this can lead to many problems. You would have to implement checks for valid-dates, need to take care about the ordering (an answer can not happen before the initial post), a date cannot be in the future, etc. It also brings the risk that this feature is used for manipulations in a “bad way”.

    If you really need to change the dates for single posts you can do it manually in the database (wp_forum_posts table) via a tool like phpMyAdmin.
