    I am not a coder, so if you show me code, please also explain how to use it.

    My question is:

    How can I get wordpress to get the publish date from a custom field?

    I am porting a site with many articles going back to even 2003 in publish dates.

    How can I get wordpress to use a MB custom field value for the published date?

    Thanks!

    Hi Robert,

    WordPress itself also supports a function to get the published date of a post. Please read more here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_date/
