Well, let him kiss my a*s .... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/323863#post-1259004 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 01:51:25 +0000 mtw28 1259004@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>No problem. Here's an example of getting posts that are the same month and same day of the month for category 1 as the current month and day.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $today = getdate(); $myposts = get_posts(monthnum=&#39; .$today[&#39;mon&#39;] .&#39;&amp;day=&#39;.$today[&#39;mday&#39;].&#39;&amp;cat=1&#39; ); ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>You would use this in your theme template, such as sidebar.php, in a loop like this:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;?php $today = getdate(); $myposts = get_posts(&#39;monthnum=&#39; .$today[&#39;mon&#39;].&#39;&amp;day=&#39;.$today[&#39;mday&#39;].&#39;&amp;cat=1&#39;); foreach($myposts as $post) : ?&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</code></pre> <p>Also, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts">here's some more info on using get_posts()</a>.<br /> Hope that helps! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/323863#post-1257354 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:20:40 +0000 maorb 1257354@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks @mtw28, I'll check the plugin.</p> <p>About the other idea, could you give me some guideline about how building and using such a query?<br /> If building one, I'll prefer to build a query that will show a post that has the same month and same day on the month, and not posts that are exactly one year old. In such a query I'll be able to display the posts also when they will be 2,3, etc.. years old. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/323863#post-1256003 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:37:34 +0000 mtw28 1256003@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Maybe this <a href="http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/old-post-promoter/">Old Post Promoter plugin</a> would do the trick.</p> <p>Otherwise, you might be able to create a custom query to display posts in the "sentence of the day" category that are exactly one year old.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/323863#post-1255619 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:04:58 +0000 maorb 1255619@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have a site, which day have sort of "the sentence of the day", which means that every day there is an inspiring text for that date.<br /> They use that by using the scheduled posts feature in the posts admin panel, and they enter the post every month and assign a date for each post to be published.<br /> These sentences should be cycled in a yearly basis, which means that every date on the year will have the same sentence.<br /> So, when scheduling a post to Nov-01,2009, it will be published on that date, but what will they do after one year? should they re-assign all 365 posts again to new dates of the next year?</p> <p>Will be happy for some ideas how to deal with this issue.<br /> Thanls </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/317020#post-1232424 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:47:53 +0000 vijayrajesh 1232424@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I need to schedule post to a particular category with this plugin?</p> <p>Currently it does not do such job , i think if i am right.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/schedule-post/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/schedule-post/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/297290#post-1163314 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 01:00:03 +0000 cuban_cigar 1163314@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>ops cant change it, now that it was said there are no edits allowed </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/297290#post-1163311 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:59:29 +0000 cuban_cigar 1163311@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>did I mention the extreme substandardness of not being able to edit our posts here?

Recently, I used one from an earlier version of WordPress, made the edits, and used that file instead for someone having the problem after upgrading. She can now schedule posts again. I have not determined, however, if using an older version of cron.php will cause other problems. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165238/page/4#post-953388 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:27:15 +0000 Shirley 953388@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've achieved success with this long-term problem.</p> <p>I upgraded my SoloBusinessMarketing.com blog to version 2.7 through the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin, wrote an article, set it to publish the next morning, and it worked.</p> <p>I don't know if it was my host or the plugin; I'm just pleased to announce this in hopes that others will also find a solution. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165238/page/4#post-950739 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:53:08 +0000 perfectlyclear 950739@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>There are hundreds of threads on the forum with people having issues with Scheduled posts not working after 2.5 and above. Unfortunately if your host is not willing to modify their firewall just for you (which most will not) then you have 2 choices, go back to an earlier version of wordpress, or wait... It sucks I know but it's as simple as that; and as far as I've seen there has been nothing posted that will rectify the problem. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165238/page/4#post-946308 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:24:22 +0000 stevejohnson 946308@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>For those of you having trouble with this, it could very well be security settings at your hosting company. HostGator, for instance, just upgraded their servers; in the process of upgrading Apache, they also installed mod_security. While this can be a good thing, it broke a lot of things on my blogs, including scheduled posting and also the 'Press This' function.</p> <p>Thankfully, HostGator was fully supportive and put my domains on a 'whitelist' to bypass some of the security settings. Voila, everything now works.</p> <p>Don't be too fast to criticize WordPress - while a few things sometimes don't work as planned, in this age of heightened server security there are a few script functions that get caught in the lurch.</p> <p>P.S. For those of you on Yahoo Business Hosting, MOVE. Yahoo is one of the least friendly hosting providers I've ever seen. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165238/page/4#post-945116 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:10:56 +0000 binbin 945116@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have the same problem with wordpress 2.7<br /> How I can fix it ? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165238/page/4#post-941465 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:17:41 +0000 Shirley 941465@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>There's an "Idea" section within WordPress.org where I added the idea of bringing back schedule post.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=2218" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=2218</a></p> <p>This beneficial setting has been missing for a long time, and by the number of posts in this thread, many of us would appreciate its return.</p> <p>If it's not on the menu for version 2.8, the "Publish Status" section to the right of the "Write Post" page can be eliminated. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/227226#post-931330 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:41:54 +0000 awesomeopp 931330@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I recently was upgraded to Firefox 3.0.5 and I upgraded to WP 2.7.
