Future posts on the single.php

I’m using this in the index.php

<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=exhibitions&post_status=future&order=ASC&showposts=2');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>

theApe, solution is here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/141099?replies=2

let me know if work for you

excellent, let’s all modify core files ??

Seriously, is there a better way to do this inside the theme, maybe with a hook for the functions.php or something?

No. Future posts are not published, by definition.

If you want them to show, then you have to make them published:

yeah, I decided to install this plugin after all and it works as it should.
Thanks.

err… does this plugin actually work? I am with with WP2.7, installed it… and well, nothing happens, is there a configuration thing to do anywhere?…

Ok. I tried everything till I found this plugin:

No Future Posts
changes the post status from “future” to “publish” by Tom Braider.

Finally single.php dislays future posts to everyone not only admins.
