The Future Posts

Skildring

Display future (scheduled) posts in responsive grids using shortcodes. Works with PODS, Advanced Custom Fields, WooCommerce, and all page builders.

Compatible with Beaver Builder, Divi Builder, Elementor, SiteOrigin, Thrive Architect, WPBakery / Visual Composer, etc. Works with virtually every Theme available for WordPress. Plenty of customization options available either for the power or expert user. Use the default theme or create your own unlimited themes. Includes extensive documentation and a huge array of examples to start with.

The Future Posts is powerfull enough to be used also as a regular post grid system, for it also works with regular published posts in exactly the very same way.

Unlike other post grid plugins of its kind, The Future Posts fully supports custom post types and custom fields, created by PODS, Advanced Custom Fields, Toolset, etc. Each post grid can display whatever fields you want, either standard or custom.

Right out of the box, The Future Posts features pretty permalinks on regular and custom post types (including WooCommerce). Pretty permalinks are supported on all posts status (including future posts). Furthermore, it also allows showing non-published posts, like future posts, even for non-logged anonymous users.

How to use

The Future Posts is very easy to use, yet it features an extensive and rich array of powerfull options. Far too many to display them here.

Go to your WordPress admin area and select The Future Posts option from the left menu. Then read and follow the instructions. All options are fully detailed there.

Power usage (for scheduled posts, not linked)

Be aware that unless you have some scheduled posts, the shortcode below, without any attributes, won’t show any posts (just a «Nothing planned yet.» sentence).

[the_future_posts]

Power usage (for published posts, not linked)

[the_future_posts post_status="publish"]

Expert usage (for scheduled posts, linked)

Here goes 2 shortcode examples, both for schedules posts only. The latter is configured for WooCommerce. Again, be aware these examples won’t work unless you have some schedules posts (former example) or products (latter example).

[the_future_posts fields="image=large;link|title=text;link|excerpt=text;nolink|button=text;link;More...|author=text;nolink|date=text;nolink;M d, Y"]
[the_future_posts post_type="product" posts_per_column="3" fields="float=start;left|image=large;link|float=end|float=start;right|title=text;link|excerpt=text;nolink|button=text;link;More...|author=text;nolink|date=text;nolink;M d, Y|float=end"]

Yes. You can create as many Themes as you want, and apply them to any instance of The Future Posts. Use the Custom Theme CSS sample, available on the Options page, to construct you own Themes. I do encourage Third Party Themes. Let me know if you have a great Custom Theme to share, perhaps it can be included on a future release.

Yes. For published only posts, use this shortcode:

[the_future_posts post_status="publish" date_before="today" date_after="today"]

[the_future_posts post_status="future,publish" date_before="today" date_after="today"]
Is it compatible with The Future Is Now plugin?

Yes. Since this plugin changes the post status of every scheduled post (from «future» to «publish»), you cannot use post_status=’future» attribute (as there won’t be any). So, you must use the post_status=’publish» along with the «date_after» attribute. like this:

[the_future_posts post_status="publish" date_after="now"]

Yes. Right out of the box. Uses WordPress» Permalink Settings whatever they may be.

Yes. A must have, otherwise WordPress returns a 404 error unless you are a logged Administrator.

Can I change the default image overlay icon?

Yes. The Future Posts is bundled with a font featuring 150 well choosen image overlay related icons with great design. The default overlay icon, a thin plus sign, is part of that font. There are plenty of free icon pack fonts available on the internet. There is also some WordPress plugins that installs a bunch of well known icon packs, including Font Awesome. You can use any of those font packs and any font included. If you know how to do it you can even use your own font.

For more information, please refer to the WordPress» admin area, menu The Future Posts, sub-menu option «Overlay icons».

Versions

1.40 – 2018-08-07

  • Fixed the plugin output contents in Beaver Builder. The output code was been placed outside the defined module zone.

1.37 – 2018-08-07

  • The sintax error on main.php line 390 seems to be a PHP problem afterall. Not a code bug. I successfully tested it with PHP v5.4.45, v5.5.38, v5.6.20, v7.0.3, v7.1.4 and v7.2.0. I unsuccessfully tested it with v5.2.4, v5.2.17 and v5.3.29. Furthermore, a customer reported the problem with PHP v5.6.30. Solution: update PHP to a more recent version like v7.0.3 and hopefully the problem should disapear.
