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.

Future Dater is a simple plugin to provide a shortcode to include certain types of future (or past) dates in your posts or pages. The type of dates supported are “beginning of next quarter”, “last day of this quarter”, “first day of next month”, etc.
Features
There are 4 arguments to the [futuredate] shortcode:
<ul>
<li>
unit – Required. Which part of the current date you want to modify. Valid values: “month” and “quarter”.
</li>
<li>
relunit – Optional. Whether you want reference the first day or last day of the unit, or the same day as the current date. Valid values: “first”, “last”, or none.
</li>
<li>
count – Required. How much to modify the current date, in units specified by the unit argument. Most commonly 1 (for next month or next quarter) or 0 (for the current month or quarter). Also accepts negative values.
</li>
<li>
format – Optional. PHP date-formatting string to specify how the date should be printed. Most common value: `Y-m-d’.
</li>
</ul>
Examples
<ul>
<li>
The end of this month: [futuredate unit=month relunit=last count=0 format=”Y-m-d H:i:s”]
</li>
<li>
The end of this quarter: [futuredate unit=quarter relunit=last count=0 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
<li>
The first day of next quarter: [futuredate unit=quarter relunit=first count=1 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
<li>
The end of the quarter, 5 quarters from now: [futuredate unit=quarter relunit=last count=5 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
<li>
The end of previous quarter: [futuredate unit=quarter relunit=last count=-1 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
<li>
First day of next month: [futuredate unit=month relunit=first count=1 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
<li>
Two months from now: [futuredate unit=month count=2 format=”Y-m-d”]
</li>
</ul>
