 * hey guys,
    i already asked in the german forum for a solution of this problem.
   but unforunatly no one could help me. so i gonna try it here: i wanna have the
   following feature implemented or find a plugin for it: i want my wordpress2.0
   blog to show every post, even the future posts. the future posts should be available
   to every visitor of my site. i want to write a post with a future date that will
   stay at the top of my blog until the date of the post is the actually date. i
   wanna use this as a feature to announce upcoming events at the top of my blog.
   do you think it is possible to implement this? i already tried to edit the classes.
   php. but i had no effort so far.
 * any hints?
 * thanks a lot, michael.

 * Michael – why not use one of the plugins that force a post to be visible. ex.
   Always On Top (Adhesive ([http://www.asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks](http://www.asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks)))

 * first: thanks for your response!
    it’s getting closer to a solution. but that
   plugin *always* forces the “sticky post” to be the top post. i want the future
   post to be the top post until the date of this future post has come.
 * sorry, but i hope you know, what i mean. it’s a little hard to explain what i
   want in english language..
 * i also have some problems with this plugin. for example i can’t get access to
   the configure site which they describe at their website.

 * that also looks very nice.
    but still the same problem. it is not possible to
   have future events visible at the index page, right on the top until their date
   isn’t in “future” any more.. or did i overlook something?

 * Well, probably not automatically. I used this pkugin only once on a client’s 
   site and they didn’t have such a request, so I don’t remember all the details.
   
   Using a customized Loop and some tweaking it might be possible…

 * hi there, i want to use my wordpesssite as an dates calender like site as well.
   
   and want to see, future,present and past events all at the i same time as last
   posts or when i choose a category. i think calendar 3.0 just creates a new category
   that shows then only all future posts….
 * any news to our problem?

 * [This topic](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/64055?replies=14#post-426038)
   deals with this stuff.
 * If anyone knows how to make the future post list month-separated, I’d love to
   hear : )

 * Thanks higherbeats, but where and how do I put this code (Yes, admittandly I 
   am generally sleeping and most definitely undereducated on this matter)?

 * Here’s a hack to replace wp-includes/posts.php with a [version that publishes future posts](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/105447?replies=9#post-518780).
 * It works for me with 2.1.3 (nothing else did)
