Changing the publication date of a blog post in Squarespace is a straightforward process that can help you manage your content more effectively. Whether you want to update a post’s date for better visibility or correct an error, follow these simple steps to make the change.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Access Your Blog Page
Log in to your Squarespace account and navigate to the blog page where your post is located. You can find your blog under the “Pages” panel.
2. Open Post Settings
Locate the blog post you want to edit. Click on the three dots (•••) next to the post title to open the settings menu. From there, select Settings.
3. Update the Publication Date
In the post settings, look for the Options tab. Here, you will see the current publication date listed under the Status section. Click on the date to open the date picker and select your desired publication date.
4. Save Your Changes
After selecting the new date, make sure to save your changes. Click on the Save button at the top left of the settings panel to ensure that your updates are applied.
5. Verify the Update
Once you’ve saved the changes, return to your blog page to verify that the publication date has been updated correctly. Refresh the page if necessary.
Important Notes
- If you’re changing the date of a post that has already been published, ensure that the new date aligns with your overall content strategy.
- You can also change the date before publishing a new post by selecting Draft and then clicking Published to adjust the date accordingly.
