 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure if this is at all possible however here goes….
 * Is it possible to have my posts show a different date to the current system date/
   time?
 * By this I’d like to add 1286 years to any posts that I make, so rather than it
   displaying 2015 as the year I’d like it to show 3301.
 * Is this possible?
 * I’d also like to be able to search archives, again by the year 3301 rather than
   2015.
 * I thought it might be possible to change the system date/time accordingly?
 * Thanks & Regards

 * Hi there,
 * You can use the_date filter hook which can help you to modify the date while 
   displaying in the frontend.Here is the link which may help you.
