[Resolved]RSS Feeds showing the wrong date

After upgrading to 2.5, my RSS feeds showed the wrong date (pubdate) for the items. When inspecting the feed xml, the site itself had the right pubdate – it was just the posts.

So, I found a method of fixing it using some old information that I gathered online.

Go into your wp-includes directory and edit the feed-rss2.php file.

I changed the line to now read:

<pubDate><?php echo mysql2date('r', get_the_time('Y-m-d H:i:s')); ?></pubDate>

Here’s a diff from old to new:


36c36
< <pubDate><?php echo mysql2date('D, d M Y H:i:s +0000', get_post_time('Y-m-d H:i:s', true), false); ?></pubDate>
---
> <pubDate><?php echo mysql2date('r', get_the_time('Y-m-d H:i:s')); ?></pubDate>
