By doing that – that seems to have worked. However, I don’t understand why the posts are getting set to scheduled. I don’t have a date or a field in the import csv file that should be setting it.
However, after you mentioned the time and using a backdate – along with the time zone. I did some digging, I found the server is running UTC timezone – while wordpress was set to Eastern time zone. Changing WP to match that of the server corrected the issue. I can up my test import file and it works as planned.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it – I would have been banging my head at this for a while.
