I'm trying to import some old news items from a legacy site/system.

Using feeds importer to get the content from an RSS feed.

All works fine except the published date value gets rewritten to the timestamp at point of import. I can't find an option to change this behaviour, even using the 'tamper' module doesn't seem to assist.

Any suggestions?

  • Tamper module doing it, looks like you not configure it properly.

  • As mentioned tamper uninstalled and the problem persisted. It was an issue with the source RSS date formats.

  • May be I comment above incorrectly, Tamper module should convert date format 1 to date format 2 (dependly what you set on Date Field settings). So no required disable Tamper, show me how you setup it (screenshot or any other)...

Turns out it wasn't Feeds itself but rather the old site's RSS being invalid. If the simplePie parser used by Feeds can't find a properly formatted <pubDate> value it defaults to a current timestamp.
