Feeds import from RSS changing dates to current timestamp I'm trying to import some old news items from a legacy site/system.

Using feeds importer to get the content from an RSS feed.

All works fine except the published date value gets rewritten to the timestamp at point of import. I can't find an option to change this behaviour, even using the 'tamper' module doesn't seem to assist.

Any suggestions?
Turns out it wasn't Feeds itself but rather the old site's RSS being invalid.
If the simplePie parser used by Feeds can't find a properly formatted &lt;pubDate&gt; value it defaults to a current timestamp.
