I did not ever find a way to fix it. I ended up just deleting all the imported posts and leaving them on my blogger blog and starting new on wordpress.
I have another factor that may be causing the dates not to show. Could scheduling the posts for a certain time (in the past or future) cause the meta data not to show?
Ok, so I wrote a draft and left it “uncategorized and the date did show up. Is there not a way to categorize a post and have the date show up?
I did give my posts categories, does that effect the date?
