   I would like to alter the code in post.php (WP ver 2.2.1), but am not sure exactly how to do it. Here is the bit I want to alter:

   559 if ( 'publish' == $post_status ) {
   560 $now = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:59');
   561 if ( mysql2date('U', $post_date_gmt) > mysql2date('U',$now) )
   562 $post_status = 'future';
   563 }

   Currently this bit of code checks to see if a post with a status of 'publish' has a date in the future. If it does, it changes the status to 'future'.

   What I would like to do is prevent this from happening in the case of a specific category. All categories would operate as normal, EXCEPT the category I select will never be stored in the database as 'future', but only as 'publish', 'draft' or 'private'.

   Any ideas?

   hi, i've got same problem than you, did you get a fix for it?

   i was thinking about writing a plugin to make a query that change the "future" status for "publish" for some categories... what do you think?

   You can install the plugin "The Future is now"

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-future-is-now/#post-2682

   It lets you set a "published" status to posts that have a future date
