ermm, there are plugins that allow you to sticky posts for certain periods of time, if not forever.
Changing the date changes the date, which is going to change the permalink, if the permalink contains a reference to a date.
thats the way things work, and thats sorta normal.

Thanks, but that just means the post will be stuck at the top. I just want to bump it up in the list until i do another post that will follow it.
> thats the way things work
Duh, but aren’t wordpress hacks all about changing the way things work? 🙂
and thats why I pointed you to a plugin. duh.
There needs to be a way to do this.
That’s a real bummer then, because there is no way to do this without changing lots and lots of core code and breaking pretty much everything in the process.

Okay, but it has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
Otto42:
Ideally there’d be a plugin that would simply provide manual control over the date component of the permalink. Or a checkbox that said “do not update permalink.”
The permalink is not stored, it is built on the fly. A post only has one date field. So you’d have to add another date to the post, specifically for the permalink. This would make things excessively complicated.
