XF 2.2 Changing join date immediately after installing XF

[Alternadiv]

If you fresh install XF and then immediately change User 1's join date to a day prior to the install, will it cause an errors?

If it's fine to do, is it just a matter of changing the date in the database and done?

No.

changing the date in the database and done?

Yes

UPDATE `xf_user` SET `register_date` = 'XXXXX' WHERE `xf_user`.`user_id` = YYYYY;

XXXXX = unix timestamp
YYYYY = user ID

To use a clean install to recreate something I started a long time ago. That initial creation date is important to me.

This is not for a forum. I’ve been experimenting with heavily modifying XF to be a CMS for some other purposes.

I can’t stand using WordPress.
