There is one feed that I am pulling from that is not returning a post date. All other feeds are working and returning correct post dates. This feed returns today’s date. I have replicated the issue on the Live Demo as well as my own site.
Feed: https://georgiarecorder.com/?s=voting&feed=rss
This site uses WP-Security so you will need to change the user-agent to:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.138 Safari/537.36
And be careful that you don’t get “locked out.”
Is there a way that I can locate the post date from the article and pass that on to echo? Thanks!

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your purchase.
I checked and the feed you linked (https://georgiarecorder.com/?s=voting&feed=rss) does not seem to contain a date in it’s content. Please check an example item from the post:
<item> <title>Early voting begins, state lawmakers still can’t raise campaign cash</title> <description><![CDATA[<p>State lawmakers who face primary challengers raised the last dollar for their re-election bids back in early January before they were gaveled into session. And a law that forbids fundraising during a legislative session – even one suspended for months because of a pandemic – will keep donors at bay until after the final votes […]</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://georgiarecorder.com/2020/05/18/early-voting-begins-state-lawmakers-still-cant-raise-campaign-cash/">Early voting begins, state lawmakers still can’t raise campaign cash</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://georgiarecorder.com">Georgia Recorder</a>.</p> ]]></description> <link>https://georgiarecorder.com/2020/05/18/early-voting-begins-state-lawmakers-still-cant-raise-campaign-cash/</link> </item>
This is why the plugin is now able to get the date from this feed, because it is not
containing a date for feed items. In this case, the plugin can import only the current date for
feed items, for generated posts.Regards,

Hi Szabi,
Thanks for the quick response. Is there any way to pull the information from classes inside the full article? Using this example it would be:
<span class=”td-post-date td-post-date-no-dot” data-wahfont=”11″ style=”font-size: 11px;”><time class=”entry-date updated td-module-date” datetime=”2020-05-18T07:00:57+00:00″>May 18, 2020</time></span>
<time class=”entry-date updated td-module-date” datetime=”2020-05-18T07:00:57+00:00″>May 18, 2020</time>
</span>
Thanks again for a great plugin and for your assistance!
