 * Here is my issue : I created the RSS flux and in Feed items everything is ok,
   there is the right published dates but when it is shown in my web thanks to the
   shortcode, the published date turn in “Published on 1970-01-01” for every items.
 * The original RSS is this here : [https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/rss/vhpcaprss.xml](https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/rss/vhpcaprss.xml)
 * And you can see the result in the “Eruption Alert” part of my home page : [https://volcanofoundation.org/](https://volcanofoundation.org/)
 * Can you help me?
 * Thank you

 * Hi, [@celineb5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/celineb5/). I just checked
   on the RSS feed you shared, and I’m afraid it does not have a publication date.
   I would recommend that you check with the feed publisher on the same.

 * Hello [@mikeyboo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeyboo/) I don’t understand
   your answer because in this following link ([https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/rss/vhpcaprss.xml](https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/rss/vhpcaprss.xml))
   of the RSS there are publication dates, at the beginning of each notification.
   I did a screenshot to show you more exactly but I can’t attach it to my message.

 * Hi [@celineb5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/celineb5/) thanks for the 
   follow-up. At the moment, dates on your RSS feed are located in the feed item
   description. The post date should be in the[ pubdate tag](https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html#:~:text=pubDate-,The%20publication%20date%20for,characters%20(four%20preferred,-Sat)
   within the item element.

 * Hello Mike, in the feed items of the rss agregator, I can find the right published
   dates so they are correclty imported with the pubdate tag. The problem is that
   when it is displayed, these dates all transform into the 1970-01-01
