 * Hi,
    I fixed my problem, so I thought I’d let you know in case it will solve 
   yours.
 * I found what I think was an earlier version of ‘The Future Is Now!’ (the Version:
   R1.0.1 one you quote above). Instead of
 *     ```
       function show_future_where($where) {
       	global $wpdb;
   
       	if( !is_single() && !is_page() )
       		$where .= " OR $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'future' ";
   
       	return $where;
       }
       ```
   
 * He used
 *     ```
       function show_future_where($where) {
       	return str_replace('(post_status = \'publish\' OR post_status = \'private\')', '(post_status = \'publish\' OR post_status = \'private\' OR post_status = \'future\')', $where);
       }
       ```
   
 * This didn’t work for me as is, but I stripped it back to:
    return str_replace(‘
   post_status = \’publish\’ ‘, ‘post_status = \’publish\’ OR post_status = \’future\”,
   $where); (got rid of the ‘private’ and some brackets). That did the trick for
   me. Paul

 * Janko: I’ve got a similar need/problem and I too have tried the plugin above (
   The Future is Now!, Version: R1.0.1 with the code posted above, not the one by
   shacker and rboren which you link to. It’s confusing, because they are named 
   the same but achieve their goals differently).
    I’m working on a sort of game
   that unfolds over time, so I want to pre-write my wordpress content and have 
   the posts appear over time. But I need to preview the ‘future’ posts now. So 
   I’m working on a plug-in based on the Future Is Now! My problem is different 
   than yours: unlike you, I can view my ‘future’ posts when I’m logged in as admin
   OR NOT. My problem is that the ‘future’ posts display in every category, whether
   I want them to or not (i.e.; PostX in Category A with a status of ‘future’ displays
   at the top of Categories A, B and C; PostY in Category B with a status of ‘published’
   and a past date displays (correctly) only in Catagory B). Do you have this problem?
   If not, I suspect our problems might relate to our versions of WordPress or maybe
   the theme files we’re using. I’m using WP 2.5 and my theme is based on ‘Vertigo
   Blue’. I’m a WP noob, not a guru, so I just hammer away, trial-and-error. Any
   light you can shed?
