Import not working on a CPT datetime field

  • Hello, I can’t import a CPT datetime field.

    I have this field called “date-match”, which is, according to JetEngine, type “datetime-local”.

    This is the string I try to import: 2021-10-13 00:00
    I’ve also tried: 2021-10-13 00:00:00
    And: 2021-10-13T00:00
    Not even: 2021-10-13T00:00:00

    Sadly, it always come as “1970-01-01T00:00”.

    I’ve tried to substitute hyphens to slashes, no success.

    Is it because of JetEngine’s datetime type? I’ve tried to change from datetime to date, and not working too.

    Is there any workaround this?

    From what I’ve searched, the “date_create()” function is used on this. Maybe if I edit used function directly in the plugin source code?

    I already wrote some examples to modify data on importing on the plugin page. Please check.

    Hi @hissy, I was able to make it work following one of your codes. Thank you for your time and brilliant plugin.

    For anyone wondering, here is what I’ve done:

    
// add this to your theme's functions.php
function really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta_filter( $meta, $post, $is_update ) {
	// datetime to timestamp
	if (isset($meta['_date_meta_field'])) {
		$meta_date = $meta['_date_meta_field'];
		$date = strtotime($meta_date);
		$meta['_date_meta_field'] = $date;
	}
	
	return $meta;
}
add_filter( 'really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta', 'really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta_filter', 10, 3 );
