Problem

You want to post an entry with a publishing date in the past.

Solution

Change the entry's Authored On timestamp to any earlier date.

Discussion

Pre-dating an entry simply means changing the entry's Authored On timestamp to any earlier date. The new timestamp must be entered in the same standard date/time format MT is using for the current timestamp.

Depending on the New/Edit Entry display options, an editable Authored On field may not be displayed. Use the "Customize the display of this page" link to make this control visible. (See "Customizing the Edit Entry Screen".)
