   I have seen many posts with people having trouble with scheduled posts, especially since WP 2.7.x.

   I have a different problem that I have not seen posted anywhere else. Whenever I create a post and try to change it's post date, it always reverts back to the first of the month you are scheduling it for.

   For example, I have some posts that I want to schedule to show up for February 8 (tomorrow). After the post is created and I try to change the date under "Schedule for:" it will always revert to February 1. It will even do that if I try to schedule it for next month, say on March 8. It will then always revert to March 1.

   I see that adding define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); in the wp-config.php file is offered as one solution. But as luck would have it, my hosts's FTP server is down at the moment. I will report later if that worked or not.

   Just wondering is anyone else has come across this problem.

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   I went over the theme and see there was a function call that was reverting the timestamp back to the 1st of the month. Fixed easily.
