No, I didn’t alter the date formats at all. As a matter of fact, we hadn’t been in the WordPress control panel at all.

I just updated to the paid version and added the Toolbox plugin to replace the date customization code in the functions.php that did the same thing. Hopefully this helps.

Here is a screenshot of my Timeline Express Toolbox Settings window:

Without us editing the announcements or doing anything with the settings – half of the dates on our timeline have reset to 2017 (see https://camacpreview.com/camac/about-us/)
I would like to find out what happened before I spend the large amount of time it will take going back to each announcement, finding the correct date, and fixing it in the timeline. Do you know what could have caused this? I’m wondering if this is related to the issues we had above with the date saving, maybe triggered by an update of the Timeline Express plugin?

That fixed it! Thank you so much for your diligence in working on getting this issue resolved!

Did you see this post I made yesterday? I contains the link you your article explaining how to limit the date and a screenshot of my timeline express settings:
“I don’t see General > Date Format under my Timeline Express settings, so maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Here is a screenshot of my Timeline Express Settings window:

There is no glitch in the video – I am using the instructions at https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/documentation/change-announcement-date-format/ to have Timeline Express show the year only. The actual timeline is on the page https://camacpreview.com/camac/about-us/”

Note that everything was working before a few months ago – event with the date modified. This issue started happening around 30 days ago.

UPDATE: I can definitely confirm that @mrrontour is correct and it’s an issue with the calendar functionality on the app. If I type in the date in full (for example January 1, 2014, then it saves on update. If I try to use the default calendar functionality the date changes, then reverts back to the current date on update. See this screenshot video: https://youtu.be/StPoQZlrfME

Any additional suggestions? We were planning a launch on 2/6/2017 – and this is the only remaining issue.

By the way – Timeline Express does the same thing even after I have JetPack disabled. The console log is blank with Jetpack disabled.

I have pretty much the default settings for Jetpack 4.5:
Under General:
Both Notifications and JSON API are on.
Under Engagement:
Site Stats – on
Sharing – on
Publicize – on
Related Posts – on
Comments – off
Subscriptions – on
Gravatar Hovercards – on
Sitemaps – on
Ehanced Distribution – on
Site Verification – on
Under Security:
Only Protect is on
Under Appearance
Tiled Galleries, Infinite Scroll, Mobile Theme, and Holiday Snow are off. The rest are on.
Under Writing:
Contact Form and Markdown are off, the rest are on.

Here is what I got from the console:

Tried doing that – it doesn’t work. Any other thoughts?
