Single post navigation bugs when adding posts in Starter Content

[bduclos]

To reproduce the issue:

• Inside a fresh install of Twentyseventeen, open the functions.php file. Line 132, modify the $starter_content posts array to add 2 posts:

  <?php
  'posts' => array(
          'home',
          'about' => array(
                  'thumbnail' => '{{image-sandwich}}',
          ),
          'contact' => array(
                  'thumbnail' => '{{image-espresso}}',
          ),
          'blog' => array(
                  'thumbnail' => '{{image-coffee}}',
          ),
          'homepage-section' => array(
                  'thumbnail' => '{{image-espresso}}',
          ),
  
          'the-new-office' => array(
                  'post_type'     => 'post',
                  'post_title'    => 'The new office',
                  'thumbnail'     => '{{image-espresso}}',
                  'post_content'  => 'Maecenas tristique lobortis sem sit amet consectetur. Nullam pharetra ex ex, a aliquet ligula pellentesque a. Aenean et justo volutpat, malesuada purus a, sagittis eros.',
          ),
  
          'join-the-team' => array(
                  'post_type'     => 'post',
                  'post_title'    => 'Join the team',
                  'thumbnail'     => '{{image-coffee}}',
                  'post_content'  => 'Maecenas tristique lobortis sem sit amet consectetur. Nullam pharetra ex ex, a aliquet ligula pellentesque a. Aenean et justo volutpat, malesuada purus a, sagittis eros.',
          ),                      
  ),
  

• Open the Customizer to load the starter content and click on the Publish button.
• Visit the first post titled "The new office". The single navigation indicates "Hello World" as the previous post while it should be "Join the team".

I think the bug comes from the fact that the 2 posts have the same exact date. Is there a way to specify the post date when configuring the starter content?

Hello @bduclos

Its because both posts are published at the same time. There is no option in starter content in which we can give post_date so there is no bug in the customize.

Thanks

As I recall, a draft or auto-draft doesn't take kindly to having a post_date assigned to it. I'll need to double check that. At the very least, we could make it so that each starter content post inserted gets a post_date that decrements back 1 second for each one inserted, so that they have a stable sort according to the order they appear in the starter content config.
