<p>I want to change the dates of entries before the dates I actually edited the entries, I am trying to look in the database and I can't figure out which dates need to be changed. I have entries in Craft CMS of past dates and was looking for a way to alter those dates. I know I can manually alter it in the template by simply leaving the <code>{{ post.postDate | date(&quot;d&quot;) }}</code> and <code>{{ post.postDate | date(&quot;M&quot;) }}</code> or the same with <code>entry.postDate</code> leave it like it is but is there a way in Craft to do it easier and leave the template like it is?</p>

I want to change the dates of entries before the dates I actually edited the entries, I am trying to look in the database and I can't figure out which dates need to be changed. I have entries in Craft CMS of past dates and was looking for a way to alter those dates. I know I can manually alter it in the template by simply leaving the `{{ post.postDate | date("d") }}` and `{{ post.postDate | date("M") }}` or the same with `entry.postDate` leave it like it is but is there a way in Craft to do it easier and leave the template like it is?

You can change the `postDate` of any entry manually through the entry edit form. Click on the `Post Date` input field in the sidebar to the right, there you can set the post date to whatever date and time you wish.
