 * I tried to just update a single post using the “filter by post” option… and it
   updated all my posts. This is a huge pain as we use the “modified date” to show
   when upcoming courses are offered… and it’s screwed it all up.

 * Hi [@frozenpenguins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frozenpenguins/) sorry
   to hear you ran into some issues with updating your posts. It is always advisable
   to take backups before making any changes to your site.
 * Could you please provide some more info about the issue? And do you have a screenshot
   of the exact settings used that produced an error for you?
 * I have tried to update a single post using the ‘filter posts’ option on a test
   site and this works as expected. You can try the same on the live preview on 
   the plugin page – [https://prnt.sc/UGTWrwb0lkQE](https://prnt.sc/UGTWrwb0lkQE)
 * Please try to use the same settings from your site on this preview site and see
   if it updates only the selected post or all posts. It’s possible there might 
   be a plugin conflict on your site but happy to help further if you can provide
   more info and try the live preview out and let me know what you find.
