• I have been rattling my brain around this. The idea is that I will eventually will have two conditional loops (based on whether someone is an admin or not). As of now if they are not an admin, it loads this:

    global $post;
    	$which_category = get_the_category($post->ID);
    
    	$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );
    	/* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
    	rsort( $sticky );
    	/* Get the 2 newest stickies (change 2 for a different number) */
    	$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 1 );
    	/* Query sticky posts */
    	$category_cover = new WP_Query(array( 'post__in' => $sticky , 'caller_get_posts' => 1, 'post_status' => 'publish'  ));
    	while ( $category_cover->have_posts() ) : $category_cover->the_post();
    	$cover_img_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'large' ); ?>
    
    	<div class="cover_wrapper" style="background:url('<?php
    
    												 echo $cover_img_url[0]; ?>') no-repeat;">
    
    				<?php if( is_home()) { ?>
    		<a style="width:940px; height:520px;" class="block abs" href="<?php the_permalink();?>"></a>
    				<ul class="cover_links abs br grid_7">
    
    				<li><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    				<p><?php the_excerpt();?></p>
    				</li>
    
    				<?php if( get_field ('photographer_name') ) {
    			echo '<li class="frgt">';
    		 	 echo '<dt>Photographer</dt>';
    		 	 echo '<dd>' . get_field('photographer_name') . '</dd></li>';
    
    		 	 } ?>
    
    <?php if( get_field ('creative_director_name') ) {
    			echo '<li class="frgt">';
    		 	 echo '<dt>Creative Director</dt>';
    		 	 echo '<dd>' . get_field('creative_director_name') . '</dd></li>';
    
    } // is_home(end) ?>

    Now what I would want is to add a conditional loop that also includes a ‘post_status’ variable to the WP Query. That way I can be logged in and see what the upcoming stories are going to look like.

    When I try to simply add this to the top:

    $category_cover = new WP_Query(array( 'post__in' => $sticky , 'caller_get_posts' => 1, 'post_status' => 'future' ));

    This yields the one sticky post that is published to disappear. Is there a link someone can throw me?
