Importing future posts through WXR doesn't schedule posts

[joostdevalk]

When importing a future post, the importer should immediately schedule the publish event.

You have to pass a UNIX timestamp in to wp_schedule_single_event(). Wouldn't that be a MySQL DateTime in $post_date ?

[joostdevalk]

Hmm should have checked that, doesn't that mean adding a single strtotime around the date?

[markjaquith]

Check out how it's done in other places. Also, keep aware that it should be GMT, so use the GMT datetime and append ' GMT'

Fixed, thanks for the remarks Mark!

Should have checked better, while testing the import on an unpatched version, I noticed it works already, so the server I encountered the issue on had other problems. _transition_post_status actually DOES schedule the post on insertion.
