To fix the issue with the date on all of your blogs showing the same date in Webflow, you'll need to make sure that the date field for each blog post is set up correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fix this issue:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and go to your Webflow editor.
  2. Navigate to the "CMS Collections" section where your blog posts are stored.
  3. Select the collection that contains your blog posts.
  4. Click on the field that represents the date for each blog post (e.g., "Publish Date").
  5. Make sure that the field type is set to "Date" and not "Text." If it's set to "Text," change it to "Date."
  6. Save your changes and navigate back to the "CMS Collections" section.
  7. For each blog post, double-check that the publish date is entered correctly in the correct format (e.g., mm/dd/yyyy).
  8. If the issue persists, consider republishing your blog posts by making a small update to each post, such as modifying a sentence, and then re-saving them. This will refresh the collection and update the date accordingly.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue with the date on your blogs showing the same date, regardless of their actual publish date in Webflow.
