Here’s a quick script that we used to loop through all posts and update them one by one with dynamic data (well… kinda dynamic)…
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/wp-load.php';
// Get the global $wpdb object
global $wpdb;
// Query all posts
$posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_date FROM {$wpdb->posts}");
// Loop through each post and update the post_modified column
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$wpdb->update(
$wpdb->posts,
['post_modified' => $post->post_date, 'post_modified_gmt' => $post->post_date],
['ID' => $post->ID]
);
}
// Output a success message
echo "All posts have been updated successfully.\n";
