Description

Hello. Using WordPress 2.0, if I edit the timestamp and set the time into the future (to publish at a specific time), the category number counts increment prematurely. For instance, if I have 10 prior posts in "Uncategorized," and set my 11th post to display tomorrow, the sidebar will show "Uncategorized (11)" even though the 11th post isn't displayed yet.

It appears to affect all cases where the number of posts in a category is displayed.

I am completely unfamiliar with the internals of WordPress, so I apologize for not attaching a patch. I'm guessing that it just requires an additional condition (timestamp <= NOW()) on the SELECT statement that computes the post counts.

Thank you!

  • Milestone set to 2.1
  • Owner changed from anonymous to markjaquith
  • Status changed from new to assigned

This should be fixed when we convert to post_status='future'

<= '$now' is going to be discontinued.
