How to display old articles?

Question

I wanted to set created date of the articles, so I set the date of the articles to 2012-2-1 but after the setting the date of the articles it's not displaying in the front-end anymore now.

After doing a deep dive into this I saw the article in the back-end it isn't being published. It's saying published, but has expired.

So, can I not publish the old-dated articles?

Please, help me on this topic. Thank you.

Answer 1

Published but has expired means that you have set a Finish Publishing date and that date is in the past. It sounds like you changed that date instead of the create date.

Answer 2

for created date You should change Created Date field you may accidentally changed Start Publishing or Finish Publishing
