## WordPress Blockchain Timestamping

The [Timestamps plugin for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timestamps/) allows you to increase content authenticity by displaying a rich timeline of your post updates. The timeline can be independently verified by the public, as a verification factor for your content.

We highly recommend you [visit the Timestamps plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timestamps/) for more information:

When you visit a post or a page, you will be able to "**Enable Timestamps**" for that post / page / product / any other custom post type.

### Bulk Generate Timestamps Using WP-CLI Command

If you have SSH access, you can use the WP-CLI to generate timestamps for posts, pages, and custom post types.

For example:

```bash
wp timestamps generate --post_type=post,page --post_status=publish,draft --post_ids=1,2,3,4
```

This will generate a new set of timestamps for the specified fields which will be run within the [WP\_Query](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/) class.

Supports any post type using the `--post_type` flag.

This only generates the timestamps in the back-end.

This allows the front-end approach to either be implemented as a shortcode, or a Gutenberg "Timestamps" block.
