Does anyone know a plugin or existing method where you can easily mass backdate posts?

I already have the posts loaded in wp just need to have them backdated into the past like over the past few years

Nope, I have checked that thread before posting this. Those tools are no longer working and sweetfunnies tool does not work with posts already in wp. Thanks though for the effort.

Op, you can do this easily by running a simple MySQL query in phpmyadmin(or any MySQL admin Client).

This is what you need https://www.google.co.in/#q=mysql+change+field+value

Your MySQL Database table will be - "<tabble_prefix>_post" (It'll be wp_post commonly)

You can change date manually in wp even for any posting, I think you do not need any plugin.

You need Custom Bulk/Quick Edit plugin to backdate your posts.
