A WordPress plugin aimed primarily at events sites, where you want to be able to timestamp posts in the future but have them appear immediately (by default, WordPress will not display a future timestamped post until its go-live date rolls around). Without changing database, this plugin sets the post_status field to “publish” rather than “future” when publishing a post, even if its timestamp is in the future.
Note: This 2.0 version requires WordPress 3.5 or higher. If you need this to work with versions lower than 3.5, grab the 1.0 version from svn: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/the-future-is-now/tags/1.0/
<h3>Note</h3>
This seemingly simple plugin was graciously written by the magical Ryan Boren when I was facing a deadline. He doesn’t have time to maintain/host it, so I agreed to. Andrew Nacin tweaked it to work with WP 3.5, when the APIs changed a bit. Jack updated the plugin for WordPress 6.8.

The Future Is Now

Allow future-time-stamped posts to appear live on your site immediately.

Make it easier on yourself to schedule future posts.
Auto Future Date allows you to quickly and easily schedule posts based on the 
last post on your site. A simple click on a link and your post will be scheduled 
for a future date based on a set of simple rules that you set up.
I use this on a blog of mine where I write several posts at a time and want to 
spread them out rather than publishing them all at the same time. Future posts 
are great for this, but I found myself going back and forth to the calendar 
to schedule.
When activated the plugin adds an “Auto” link right next to the link that you 
use to schedule a future post. Clicking on the Auto link makes an Ajax call that 
will set the date for your post at some point in the future, using rules that you 
set.
