EXIFize My Dates

Description

This tool will attempt to irreversably change the actual post dates of all entries in the post type you choose (supports posts, pages, and custom post types).

The dates will be changed using (in order of priority):

  1. ‘exifize_date’ custom meta (date or ‘skip’)**
  2. EXIF date of Featured Image
  3. EXIF date of the first attached image
  4. Do nothing. Be nothing.

**You can override the function with a custom meta field named: ‘exifize_date’ which accepts dates: ‘YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss’ (for example: ‘2012-06-23 14:07:00’) or ‘skip’ to prevent the EXIFizer from making any changes.

Installation

  1. Upload the /exifize-my-dates/ directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Navigate to ‘EXIFize Dates’ under the ‘Tools’ menu

FAQ

Can this plugin do X,Y, or Z?

Probably not. It is simple, straightforward, and ugly. If there is a feature you think would be absolutely killer, let me know, and I’ll what I can do.

Can you add feature X,Y, or Z?

Possibly – though I do this in my spare time.

I’m getting unexpected results, what should I do?

Post on the WordPress.org forums would be your best bet – so others can benefit from the discussion.

It does as advertised. The only thing missing is an option do exify a single post. Whenever I post an older image, I have to check ALL the posts, so that's definitly a point of improvement. That says, what it does it does great!
