Yes, it exists since version 0.6 :)

Just set the date of your posts in the future and their status to published and save :) (don't use 'publish NOW' since NOW means NOW :)

oh snap... i thought that only set the timestamp in db, i never thought it could be used for that .. thanks.

by the way OT, correct me if im wrong but i see that you are far more ethusiastic about evo than ever these days.which is very good, but again and again i recommend you should take criticisms as important as the praises. i thought 3.x would be huge without a doubt, and i personally could not use it entirely, actually i barely touched it; made an install or two; so i dont know what all the fuss is exactly about, all i know is it caused more controversary and criticisms than i imagined

*coughs*..uhhm... i have wrote the post, set it to 10 minutes later, didnt use publish now, just used post type published and nothing happened.

The post awaits in posts/comments section, there is publish now still available, but it did not get published.

Am i missing sth here ?

Did you set post status to 'publish'?

i had set it to published but i have rechecked just to make sure and saw somehow the status was selected draft.No issues, its all fine.Thanks for the heads up

I was hit with this problem before and took me a while to work out why my posts weren't showing.

The change in default status is something I'm still not used to in V3. I sometimes write posts in advance. It worked perfectly in the past and now I must remember to click the status before saving the post. One extra step :/

It'd be nice if there's an option to set the default status.

I am pretty sure there was a setting like that but i couldnt just find it right now, and if my mind is playing with me and there is not one; big loss.

As said in another thread, in v4/cvs, "Publish Now" has been replaced by "Publish", which eliminates the need for an extra click.

I knew it

$default_post_status = 'published';

Tilqicom: very old version. There is a thread somewhere that explains why this is gone.

it is ? i assume it has gone in 3.x, but my 2.4.7 has, so its not that old

2.4.7, like all 2.x releases, are basically a software design from 2007.
