   Hi

   Can anyone help me with my category.php theme file.

   I want to make a loop that shows future post from the specific category. So the only thing that should be different is that my category.php have to show future post instead of publish post.

   I manage to do that with my index.php, but i can't make it work with categories.

   My index.php looks like this:

   <?php
   $my_query = new WP_Query('post_status=future&order=ASC');
   ?>

   <?php
   if ($my_query->have_posts()) : while ($my_query->have_posts()) :
   $my_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
   ?>

   Thanks
   Lars

   BTW. If i use the same loop in category.php, it will show future post from all categorys, and not just the category you have choosen.

   My permalinks is set to: /%postname%.html

   Never tried the "future" thing, but I would guess that it works like many other WP functions, and that you could add &category=1 to limit it to posts from category ID #1. &category_name=ABCD should work too.

   Looks like this might be another way of doing the same thing: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

   Hi again

   I manage to solved it like this:

   <?php
   global $query_string;
   query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC&post_status=future");
   ?>

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   Ah...didn't realize a $query_string already existed. Good work!

   I too was having a very similar problem. Your solution has fixed my issue. Thank you so much.

   I was having trouble using showposts=1 (or any other query) in my category.php loop. It was then calling up the wrong category. $query_string works like a charm.

   While I am very greatful that this works, I do not know why it works. Any ideas?
