 * Hi,
 * I wrote a post and wanted it to go public tomorrow, so I changed the timestamp
   to same time tomorrow.
 * The post is not displayed at the frontpage but it’s listed in “Most Recent Posts”.
   
   Is this an error or am I doing it wrong?

 * That’s not a bug in WP, it’s a fault in the plugin as it is not checking for 
   the ‘published’ flag in the db.
    Contact the author ? they may not know about
   this and I’m sure they’d be pleased to know.

 * What do you mean about plugin? I did not install any pluging.
 * What do you mean about author? Isnt it wordpress? (so desided to post this on
   the forums).

 * Ahh … it’s WP code. That’s a bug then in that bit of the code. It should check
   the flag I mentioned.
 * I would delete that bit of code and use a plugin. That possible ?

 * My first blog was published with Blogger.com. Then, I installed a second blog
   using WordPress and imported old posts from my first blog on that second blog
   automatically through wordpress. Now that i’m trying to publish on my first (
   Blogger’s) blog, the new posts won’t publish and i get this message: “Are you
   looking for your blog? It is temporarily out of service. Please try again in 
   a few minutes. Meanwhile, discover a better blogging tool.” The better blogging
   tool is a link that takes me to WordPress. Except if Blogger has been baught 
   by WordPress or vice-versa, I don’t see how this could have happened except through
   a wordpress virus that would infiltrate Blogger’s system. Could you please tell
   me what I can do about it?

 * kgp43, the question on everyones mind is, where exactly is “Most Recent Posts”
   displayed?
 * lulu13, you should start your own thread (select an appropriate forum, then scroll
   to the end of that page for the new topic form). This is not only considered 
   thread hijacking, it’s pretty off-target from the subject being discussed. I 
   would also suggest avoiding the suggestion that WordPress is sending out a virus
   to attack other services. For technically-minded folk, stating something like
   that is not taken as casual conversation.

 * kgp43, the question on everyones mind is, where exactly is “Most Recent Posts”
   displayed?
 * When you click a “Post Title” or a category, then the “Most Recent Posts” will
   be displayed in the right menu (just below the calender).

 * kgp43, what you have there is a bit of code embedded in the Blix theme.
 * In that theme’s directory look for the following file: BX_functions.php. This
   holds the various custom functions the Blix theme puts to use, such as BX_get_recent_posts(),
   which is the function, or template tag, displaying your recent posts. You can
   edit the code to correct the issue you’re having with it. In the BX_get_recent_posts()
   function statement, look for this line:
 * `$posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM " . $wpdb->posts . "
   WHERE post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT " . $limit);`
 * This queries the database to collect your *recent* posts. Problem is, it doesn’t
   screen out posts dated _in the future_. To do that, we first add the following
   right above the quoted line:
 * `$now = current_time('mysql');`
 * Then we change your query to this:
 * `$posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM " . $wpdb->posts . "
   WHERE post_status='publish' AND post_date <= '$now' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT".
   $limit);`
 * And that’ll do it.

 * Perfect 🙂
 * So it was a problem with the skin?
    Where do I contact the developer of this 
   skin so he can correct the error?

 * You could try here:
 * [http://www.kingcosmonaut.de/blix/](http://www.kingcosmonaut.de/blix/)
 * By the way, we prefer to call them ‘themes’ instead of skins, because they do
   more than just affect the layout of a site. As you’ve just learned. `;)`
