 * Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I need to put in the loop
   on the single.php to have future posts show to everyone and not just logged in
   admins.

 * I’m using this in the index.php
 *     ```
       <?php
       $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=exhibitions&post_status=future&order=ASC&showposts=2');
       while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
       $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
       ?>
       ```

 * excellent, let’s all modify core files 🙂
 * Seriously, is there a better way to do this inside the theme, maybe with a hook
   for the functions.php or something?

 * No. Future posts are not published, by definition.
 * If you want them to show, then you have to make them published:

 * Ok. I tried everything till I found this plugin:

 * > **No Future Posts**
   >  changes the post status from “future” to “publish” by

 * Finally single.php dislays future posts to everyone not only admins.
