# pubDate Validation

 * It seems as if the <pubDate> format doesn’t validate as a RFC-822 date-time format.
   It is showing as:
    <pubDate>April 6, 2019</pubDate>
 * instead of:
    <pubDate>Sat, 06 Apr 2019 08:00:00 EST</pubDate>
 * This is causing problems with my MailChimp email since it isn’t seeing this as
   a valid date to trigger a new campaign send. Is there a way to change this?
 * Thanks!

   you look into it. Thank you for your valuable feedback, I’ll check it as soon
   as possible.

 * Hi
    i have fixed the pubDate to always show ‘D, d M Y H:i:s +0000’ format instead
   of blog format i would appreciate it if you will check it out and let me know
   if it worked for you
