I had a look at the database and link_updated is showing dates. So why does it still show incorrect dates? * [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-link-library-incorrect-date/#post-1345577) * After installing the plugin, it will start putting data in the date field after you re-save your links. Have you tried saving any of your existing links or creating a new link? * I think that your two options are: * – go in every link that you have and re-save them to set their date to today * or * – go in the Phpmyadmin panel for your web site and manually populate the date file to represent the actual date when you added the links. * Thread Starter [Ruriko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ruriko/) * (@ruriko) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-link-library-incorrect-date/#post-1345584) * I have tried both options and it still shows the incorrect date. I even done it on a fresh installed blog. My phpmyadmin shows the correct date but on wordpress it doesn’t * [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-link-library-incorrect-date/#post-1345586) * Oops. You’re right. Download version 2.6.1 and you should now see the dates correctly. I stopped testing when I saw dates, just thinking that it would work fine as soon as real data would be put in. * [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-link-library-incorrect-date/#post-1345670) * I implemented my own version of the functionality from the link-update plugin to set an updated date on links when you add of edit them. So you should be able to safely remove the link-updated plugin from your site and retain the functionality that will put data in the updated field.
