# Start_date error when adding blog posts

 * Trying to set up a historical timeline as well. I’ve found a few problems I need
   your help on.
 * 1. When adding blog posts as timeline events I get the error Missing start_date[
   _1571_ad_] I am not seeing a place to add a start date/year outside of modern
   times.
 * 2. There is no way to override the JS date formats and calendar functionality
   for older dates than the calendar function can go.
 * 3. Would you consider allowing a start_date for the timeline as an added attribute
   to the short code?
