What's going wrong
Site owners report several metadata problems in imported posts. Drafts lose their original date when published, and events show a date one day off. The default category is added to every post even when another is set, and some feeds land in the wrong category and redirect readers. Cron-run imports often lack the intended author, while manual runs are correct. Each problem needs manual correction after import. Publishers and news sites who rely on accurate timestamps and sections are affected. A post-import audit that checks and corrects these fields would remove the cleanup work.
