   I'm trying to show only future posts for a particular (gigs) category.

   I managed to get it showing future posts, but now it won't delete past ones. This is what I have at the moment:
   

   <?php query_posts('category_name=gigs&posts_per_page=100&post_status=future&order=ASC'); ?>
   	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   What do I need to change in order for past events to drop off?
   I'd like it still to show an event on the same day.

   Check out the time parameters for query_posts. You might could do something like:

   function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
   	// posts in the next 30 days
   	$where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+30 days')) . "'";
   	return $where;
   }
   add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
   
   $query = new WP_Query( $query_string );

   David, thank you so much for helping - I'm embarrassed to confess I have absolutely no idea what to do with that code though. I don't understand PHP which is why wordpress is a nightmare for me!
   Where do I put a function in a PHP page?

   You'll have to integrate that code into the code your using to pull up your 'future' posts/gigs.

   I know. I just don't know HOW to integrate it.
