wp_list_cats doesn't hide category with only a future post

[murky]

I have a futurepost in the category 'rugby' - it is the only post in this category.

There is no published post already posted in that category with a date before now.

On
​http://www.murky.org/blg/category/sport/

wp_list_cats shows a link to the 'rugby' category, despite no posts being available. This makes for a broken link.

Here is the relevant code:

{{{ <?php

$query='sort_column=name&hide_empty=true&child_of=' . $cat;
wp_list_cats($query);

?>}}}

Which version of WordPress? I think this is fixed in 2.1. Need to verify.

I'm on 2.0.4

I can confirm this problem using WP 2.0.4 and list_cats(). A user has reported me the problem since I am using list_cats() in my plugin ​Category Tagging.

This is fixed in 2.1. It won't be fixed in 2.0.x since the fix requires the new future posting infrastructure. We'll have to live with it until 2.1 arrives.
