-/**
- * Important!
- * Sometime in the past, not sure when, SM (or CMB2) developers decided to change (sermon) date format from (mm/dd/YY)
- * to Unix time. This caused some (un)expected bugs, and with this fix, I'm hoping that those bugs will be solved.
- *
- * This fix will select all sermon dates, which are stored as sermon post meta field, called `sermon_date`.
- * Those dates, if not numeric, will be put through `strtotime()` in hope to get them converted to Unix time.
- *
- * For every non Unix sermon date, this function will also create a backup post meta, called `sermon_date_old`.
- * Purpose of this field will be to restore dates if we screw up something. I hope not, but this plugin is a huge pile
- * of spaghetti code.
- *
- * This script will also increase PHP's max execution time, to avoid timeouts.
- *
- * TODO:
- * 1) Add "revert" functionality. That will remove `sermon_date` post meta fields where there is an existing
- * `sermon_date_old`, and it will rename `sermon_date_old` to `sermon_date`. If something goes wrong.
- * 2) Add stop detection, i.e. let's write an index (sermon ID) to a db value. If that key exists, that means that
- * function has been interrupted and it will start converting from that index.
- *
- * @see   https://github.com/WP-for-Church/Sermon-Manager/issues/27
- * @since 2.0.9
