change post date on a wordpress post

Question

Hi, I am trying to edit the post date on a wordpress post to show a future date is this possible? i.e posted on 6/06/10 but i actually printed it today

Answer 1

Yes, you simply put in the date that you want it to be, while the post status is on draft, press ok, and then the publish button should turn into a schedule button.

If it doesn't, save the post and go to where all the posts are listed, set the date there, and set it to published. It should then turn into a scheduled post.

It this still doesn't work, you might want to copy and paste the contents into a new post and start over from there.

Answer 2

Using Wordpress 2.8.1, I was able to edit the publish date to a future date. Upon saving, the verbiage changed from "Published on" to "Schedule for" which implies that you can schedule posts to publish on a specified date.

Answer 3

I found my answer. It was a plugin called back to the future.
