Titles appear for future posts, links broken

    See the three tabs in the middle of the page. Published research works, as does the calendar. For future posts, the titles show correctly, but clicking the links produces 404 not found. The links DO work when I am logged in as Admin. My implementation is:

    [catlist post_status=”future” numberposts=”10″ name=”research-agenda”]

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi

    What you see is the expected behaviour, WordPress doesn’t allow access to scheduled (i.e. future) posts if a logged off user tries to access them. The LCP plugin generates the URLs for the links as instructed by [catlist post_status="future"] but it doesn’t deal with user capabilities – it’s up to you control and/or modify permissions.

    So normally, LCP plugin users do [catlist post_status="future" link_titles="false"], this produces a list but post titles are not wrapped in links. This way you can publicly give a hint of your future releases and there are no 404 http codes 😉

    You have three options here:

    1. Set the posts in “Upcoming Research” as published and assign them a special category, e.g. “Future”, then control display with this category. (Recommended)
    2. Change user capabilities so that looged off users can access future posts. I advise against that, but you could do it, there are plenty of access control plugins.
    3. Use the link_titles="false" shortcode parameter so that only titles are displayed, without links.

    Let me know if this helped.

    Cheers
