# Incorrect Image Dates

 * I have several older galleries where the date displayed when in “Manage Galleries”
   is “January 1, 1970” for all of the images in that gallery. If I look at the 
   Meta data for the images it shows the correct date/time in the Meta data and 
   the EXIF data sections. So when I try to sort the gallery by date/time it has
   no effect.
    Is there a way to fix the dates for the images?

 * Hey [@fooj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fooj/)!
 * I’d be happy to help 🙂 Could you confirm the version of NextGEN Gallery and 
   the version of WordPress you are running?
 * What would also be helpful, please copy and paste the server details listed under
   Gallery > Overview > Site details.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * Thank you for providing the server settings, [@fooj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fooj/)!
   🙂 You have just two settings that need updating… reach out to your hosting provider
   and have them update your PHP to v7, and increase your memory limit to 250MB.
   Once those are in place, please send us a bug report here: [http://www.imagely.com/report-bug](http://www.imagely.com/report-bug)…
   we’d like to take a closer look at why your dates are changing / the sort order
   is not working as expected. If we find a bug, we’ll want to include a fix for
   this in one of our next updates. Please include the URL to this forum thread 
   in your bug report and mention that Becky referred you, so we can investigate
   the source of this behavior. 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark
   this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply
   again if you still have questions. 🙂
 * Thanks!
