Clicking freeze date sets date to today

    When I edit an existing page, I enable “Freeze modified date” and instantly the “Last modified” right above is changed to today.

    While freeze date is active I cannot click the date to modify it, but if I disable and click the date link to set the date back to a past date, and then re-enable freeze date, it resets back to today.

    If I repeat this, modify the date and do not re-enable freeze date, the previous date seems to stick sometimes, but not when I then edit the page in elementor.

    If I edit in elementor, save, head back to wordpress edit, and the date is back to today. If I then set this back to the previous date, the backend still shows today’s date, but the frontend shows the previous date.

    This seemed to work properly the first time I used it, and then it started functioning like this. I don’t think I added any other plugins etc, I don’t mess with this site much and only edit articles.

    Thanks for your work, it’s a handy plugin.

    Hello,

    While freeze date is active I cannot click the date to modify it, but if I disable and click the date link to set the date back to a past date, and then re-enable freeze date, it resets back to today.

    This is odd, I just tried this now and I can’t replicate this problem. I suggest you try this on clean installation first with no other plugins so we can rule out conflict with other plugins

    If I repeat this, modify the date and do not re-enable freeze date, the previous date seems to stick sometimes, but not when I then edit the page in elementor.

    You do this all in one go, without saving the post first? If so, this is expected. When toggle “Freeze modified date” to ON, it will freeze to the last date this post was modified (it picks up the last modified date from the database)

    If I edit in elementor, save, head back to wordpress edit, and the date is back to today. If I then set this back to the previous date, the backend still shows today’s date, but the frontend shows the previous date.

    It may be a conflict with elementor. I suggest you check the developer console within the browser and see maybe if you can recognize any error related to the plugin

    Thank you. I plan on cloning this WordPress build soon so I might be able to locate a conflict.

    Thanks for confirming. I was curious if maybe I was looking at the functionality incorrectly.

    I’ll let you know if I pinpoint a conflict.
