Hi. New user here, but I'll jump in.

I'm not sure what you mean by "does not show any date before". When you enter 
transactions, you ENTER a date. Sure, it shows you a date by default, but don't 
have to use that. Just highlight the date shown, and enter 2017-07-15 or 
whatever (in your date format).

There's a nice shortcut. In Edit » Preferences, on the Date/Tie tab, select the 
last radio button, "in a sliding 12-month window" and select
8 for "this many months before the current month." Then you can enter a date as 
7-15 (for example, but use your format) and it will supply 2017 because the 
"window" runs from 8 months before now to 4 months after now.

Greg,

I think that you will find what you're looking for here:

MenuBar> File> Accounts> "Day Threshold to Read-Only Transactions (red line)

If you enter zero in that box all transactions will be available in
Read/Write,
If you enter the numeral "n" in that box all transactions will be available
in Read/Write for the last "n" days, but read only if the transaction date
is more than "n" in the past.

In addition and contrary to normal account registers, the general ledger is 
restricted to one month worth of transactions by default. You can adjust the 
filter as Greg suggest for the general ledger as well, but this filter won't 
stick so you have to redo it after each gnucash restart.

Geert

There is a setting that might prevent you from seeing older transactions
once you've entered them.

When you have a register open, use the View menu

View > Filter by > Show all

If it was set to a date range that excludes an old transaction date, it
would be possible for a newly entered old transaction to seem to
disappear.





Kind regards,

Greg Feneis

Start by reading the Tutorial and the Help Manual.  Once you have created a
chart of accounts you just open the register for whichever account you want
to enter a transaction into, type any date into the date box and go from
there.
