 * Hi,
 * With WP All Import I import data from a CSV file.
 * However I have a column where the date format is dd/mm/yyyy.
 * I don’t think this is compatible with WordPress’s date system.
 * How can I convert the date into the correct format so that it can add as a publish
   date?
 * Thanks for your help.
   Julian

 * Unfortunately, our free plugin doesn’t support inline PHP functions, so you’d
   have to replace the slashes “/” with dashes “-” in the import file before uploading
   it to WP All Import.

 * Hi,
 * I have the premium version of your plugin.
 * Can you tell me how to do it because I read a similar request on another topic
   and there seems to be a solution.
