 * hi group.
   A couple of questions on publish dates,1) once a publish date is set,
   can it be updated / changed to any other dates as required?2) Is it possible 
   to show and add and not show the publish date?

 * Hi,
    1. admin can change this date to any other date when editing the Ad from wp-admin-
       > Classifieds panel, the user who posted can change this date indirectly when
       renewing the Ad.
    2. not sure what do you mean, can you rephrase?

 * Hi Greg
   If I set an add to start on 08/08/2026 and say on 18/08/26 I wanted to
   edit the date to start on 18/08/26 I am unable to.I can only select the 08th 
   of the following month, see screen shot below;and if I select this, the add disapears
   from the classifieds assuming due to it not being in date yet..?the reason to
   do this is probably just in the ealry days while messing about with it. and it
   is so the date can be renewed as and when wanted to keep adds looking new if 
   required.Perhaps the current method now could be adjusted in weeks and months?
   which would help

 * Hi,
 * the screenshot you mentioned seems to be missing, can you add it again?
 * As for the publication date, it is entierely handled by the WordPress (like with
   Posts and Pages), if there is some kind of limitation to the date you can select
   then maybe you have some plugin installed related to this?
