It is good to update your blog regularly. But sometimes it’s better to let your readers know exactly what and when you will post something. So I develop this plug-in for whom wants the readers be more curious about his blog.
Features
- Help you to show cheduled posts or drafts.
- Configure in the widget: the number of posts; show the excerpt; the time format.
- Make your own style by editing
ucp.cssanducp_widget.phpfiles.

Installation & Using
- Download the lastest version here on Wordpress.org
- Unzip into your wp-content/plugins directory & active through the ‘Plugins’ menu in Dashboard.
- Visit the ‘Widgets’ menu and add it into your sidebar with proper choices.
Version history
(ver 1.2.2) – (07.02.09) :
- Add a function name ucp_show() which help u to manually show upcoming posts.
- Here is how to use it: ucp_show(’the title here – it should be blank’,
‘the id of the specific cat if u want or leave it blank’,
‘number of posts to show’,
‘if no post’,
‘time style’,
‘if you want to show time’,
‘if u want to show cat’,
‘if u want to show excerp’,
‘if u want to switch to’ )For example:
< ?php ucp_show(”,”,’3′,’No post’,'d.m.Y’,'true’,
‘true’, ‘false’,'false’); ?>
(ver 1.2.1) – (03.02.09) :
- Add ability to show posts in a specific category. Thanks AudioScribber’s idea!
- You can easily find it in “Dashboard\Posts\Categories” area, move the mouse over the category name and you will see something like “categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=180″, that’s the point. Another way is to install a plug-in can show all the ID number (I am sure it exists)
(ver 1.2) – (01.02.09) :
- Add the time format option.
- Easily to make your own style by editing `ucp.css` and `ucp_widget.php` files.
(ver 1.1) -(30.01.09) :
- Fixes several small issues in the widget
- Add the ability to limit the number of posts to show
- Can get the excerpt appear below the titles and call for drafted posts
(ver 1.0) – (28.01.09):
- Initial release version
- Just show all the title of scheduled posts.
Hope all of you enjoy it!
P.s: This plug-in has been no longer in development. Some might find that the function Ucp_show() doesn’t work just because I have some problem with the updating on wordpress site. It’s not the lastest version there. I also couldn’t find my 1.2.2 on my computer T_T

@Michelle: I’ll have a fix when updating my wp to 2.8.2, it’s now 2.7.1 ^^
@Dj Pod: I’ll try to add that function on the next version ^^
Is there a way of showing pending posts as opposed to scheduled posts? I am using TDO Mini Forms to allow users to submit their posts which going into Pending mode, avaiting approval.
I would like to show these upcoming posts that are pending approval to entice visitors to come back.
Is there a way of doing this with your plugin?
I’ve tested ucp_show() with the new download. It doesn’t work.
Also it won’t show posts with wordpress 2.8.2…it now says, when you click on the list, that the post is unavailable.
Thank you!
Oh really, it’s been a long time I forgot to developed this plug-ins ^^
Have you test the ucp_show() fucntion? If it works, the version is 1.2.2.
The last time I have some problems when upload the plug-in onto wp
Hello! Thank you for making this plug in…it is really helpful!
When will 1.2.2 be available? I tried to download it from the wordpress.org page but it said it was only 1.2.1 and the same if I install it.
Thank you!

Perfect! Thanks!
Ask as many questions as you like, it’s my mission to listen and share
To get rid of the bullets you have to edit the file ‘upc_widget.php’. Find these tags and delete them:
“< li>” and “< /li>”
(They are used for the themes which has widget and the theme’s .css file will handle this ^^)
One more question, what if i wanted to get rid of the bullets that show up?
thanks again!
That works perfect! Thanks a lot man! Great Plugin!
@musiclover: bye. have a good day!
@bhavik: have u try this?
< ?php ucp_show('','','3','No post','d.M.Y','','true','','false'); ?>
Just let it blank if u want it to hide, fill something (any thing) if u want it to show ^^
so here is what I found:
leave blank = false
fill anything = true
(apply to the excerpt, timestamp, cat option)
(I don’t know why, but I’ll figure it out)
Hey again, Got the plugin to show up now. It looks great! Only problem is the true/false settings don’t work. I dont want to show the time stamp…I have it set to false but the stamp still shows up.
This is my code inside PHP Tags
ucp_show(”,”,’3′,’More Posts Coming Soon!’,'d.m.Y’,'false’,'true’, ‘false’,'false’);
Hello. And Bye.
WordPress Plugin Releases for 01/31 |
Thanks for noticing me about that errors. I’ll check it later
Hello. I úe your plugin and I really like it. But it caues erors duỉng the html validation: you ahve úed “” in ucp_widget.php and I’ve manually changed it into . and nơ it works fine!
thanks for the great plugin, I hope it help!
Hix, the version now u download from wordpress.org is 1.2.2 but I don’t understand why it has not updated T_T maybe I need someone to guide me using the svn to update the plugin
Hello again, looks like wordpress still doesnt show the 1.2.2 update. Does it usually take this long for them to update it? Thanks
@Rich: Thanks for the idea. In the next version 1.3 with higher performance, I won’t forget to add this option. Now you can do it easily by editing the ucp_widget.php, find in the line 3 or 4 this variable:`order=ASC`
and change it to: `order=DESC`
Great Plugin. It would like to helful if the order of the upcoming posts could be reordered. I want the post that will be published next to be at the top.

WordPress Plugin Releases for 01/31 |
I just only tested it on my localhost. But if something goes wrong just let me know ^^ looking forward to hear from u. Now I’ll go for sleep, it’s very late here^^
I looked up how to widgetize and it seems like the correct code is in the theme but still no luck
Thanks for the quick update, i’ll download the next version and let you know.
@bhavik: well, I totally forgot those themes which don’t have widget when making this plugin. So now there are two solution for ya:
1. The simpliest, widgetize your themes, u can search how to do it on the internet.
2. Download the ver 1.2.2 and use the function (I’ve finished 10 minutes ago):
ucp_show(‘the title here – it should be blank’,
‘the id of the specific cat if u want or leave it blank’,
‘number of posts to show’,
‘if no post’,
‘time style’,
‘if you want to show time’,
‘if u want to show cat’,
‘if u want to show excerp’,
‘if u want to switch to’ )
For example:
< ?php ucp_show('','','3','No post','d.m.Y','true',
'true', 'false','false'); ?>
wait a bit if wp has not updated it ^^
@Tom Brincefield : That plugin only works with WP 2.5+, but i think today everybody will upgrade to 2.7 Version. This version is so cool, so u can see category ID easily.
@Mrlive : I still think if u could send upcoming posts to Subcribe user will be great.
Hey, Cool Plugin….I cant get it to work with my theme, looks like the widget thing isnt working. What is the php function i can call to insert in manually?
Ex. if function exists(‘upc’) upc();
Thanks!

Connek!
Thanks for the update
Connek!
You are right, there is a plugin that reveals IDs on your dashboard. It is called Reveal IDs for WP Admin. I have been boosting it on my blog because it is so useful.
@audioscribbler: It’s a brilliant idea. I’ve made ver 1.2.1 which can do that, enjoy ^^
Mr Live your plugin is fantastic! I have one question.. at the moment it is pulling posts from all categories.. is it possible to tell the plugin just to get post from a certain category? thx
@Tadd: I hope it’ll be useful. You made me think of developing a particularly version for magazines with more effects & options^^
This looks like a promising pluggin particularly for magazines – I’ll be checkin it out myself! thanks!
No problem. I’m finding some ideas for the next version ^^
Maybe the control will move to admin panel (I’m studying how to do it)
That fixed everything on my end! Thanks great work and a fast reply, the plugin already show the update for it….
Thanks, Bitlockers
Thanks for noticing me, this error is popular due to the encode type. I see that you’re using ver 1.1, try to download ver 1.2 above, if the link on wordpress.org is the same – it may takes a few minutes for wp update, try the link on my host. hope you enjoy it
I don’t know If this will help but here is one error I found and If this don’t help just delete this mesage! Thanks again, Bitlockers
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/removed/public_html/blogs/wp-content/plugins/upcoming-posts/upcoming.php:1) in /home/removed/public_html/blogs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850
Em chọn option ai đã từng đc approve comment trước đây thì ko cần moderation đi, anh comment toàn thấy waiting moderation
Maybe it is a problem of encoding the file (it should be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM, the best choice to use Notepad++ to edit)
Have u tried ver 1.2 I’ve recently updated?
We can easily configure it in the widget
Hờ câu đc 3 em trackback rồi à, congra
À, nếu em up lên wp.org rồi thì phải viết manual, bọn nước ngoài ko giỏi lắm đâu
, và chỉnh time, date format lại cho chuẩn nữa
, giờ có 3,4 chuẩn ngày giờ cơ, em thêm cái option tùy chọn cái đó vào thì hay hơn
Cái shoutbox thì nếu dùng host ở VN ko bao h nên cài, overload là cái chắc, cũng ko cần thiết vì có quick comment rồi mà
Em thử cái Cumulus với Top Commentator chưa, 2 cái đó khá hay đấy
I also Love your plugin, but I would also like the date to be month first and date second, I tried you patch but every time I changed it messed up my blog.
I tried all formats, I like the month, date and year one the best but for some reason it would throw my blog to the left side of the monitor instead of the center.
And it would show some kind of error on the top but really couldn’t make it out. I will keep a look out for the updated version.
Thanks, Bitlockers
Good Job
@Chip:
Nice idea! in the next version I will try to add this option into the widget.
At the present, you can do it manually by edit ‘upcoming.php’ file on line 138, find something like the_time(‘d/m’) and change ‘d/m’ to what you like.
Ex: ‘m/d’ will display month/date; or ‘F j, Y’ will display “Sunday 1, 2009″; or ‘m.d.Y’ to display “02.01.2009″
Great plugin but would like to change how the date is displayed. Ex: February 1 shows up as 01/02 when I would rather have the month be first, like this 02/01. Please let me know what to change to make this happen, thanks!
I hope u enjoy it
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/upcoming-posts/screenshots/ << đã up lên wordpress.org – bà con down và vote cho mình nhé ^^
Đã xử lý xong ver 1.1
Còn cái RSS em đang nghiên cứu ^^
Đây cũng là 1 lý do em nên cài Ajax edit comment, anh vừa nghĩ thêm là :
- Em nên thêm ảnh vào bài viết
- Nên cài Top commentor ( ko nhớ rõ lắm )
- Nên thử cái WP-Cumulus
- Cài cái User Online nữa
- Cài page Navi thì sẽ giúp truy cập các bài trước nhanh hơn việc cứ nhấn liên tục Pre post
- Cài Wordpress Automatic Upgrade thì sẽ ko phải lo vấn đề database ko tương thích khi nâng cấp
Ôi giời, thế thì phải tìm hiểu kỹ, 1 ws hay blog chuyên nghiệp ko thiếu RSS đc
Mà cái quick comment bị sao ấy, anh send 3 lần ko thấy hiển thị
Nên thêm một nút Home vào navbar
Hay đấy, cái show excerpt sẽ tạo nên sự quyến rũ của bài viết, em nghĩ là ver 1.1 khả năng có cái đó lun, còn cái RSS thì để e nghiên cứu thêm đã, em mới biết đến lợi ích của RSS cách đây 1 ngày
À nếu như anh thì anh sẽ mua 1 cái bàn phím = laser chuyên dụng cho cellphone
, mà anh cũng nghĩ là em nên cài 1 cái plugin cho edit comment, cái này chạy bằng Ajax …
À nếu về ý tưởng cải thiện thì anh nghĩ là nên show excerpt của bài viết đấy ra luôn, còn cái cho hiện popup hay bay nhảy thì anh với anh chỉ mang tính trang trí tí thôi
, nếu em tìm cách send upcoming post vào RSS cho các follower được nữa thì càng tốt
À, cái blog dành cho busy people đó hả, em nghĩ nó cũng hay đấy. Được cái nà dùng trên cellphone thì gõ tiếng việt có dấu cũng mỏi tay phết
Thực ra thì theo anh thấy về sau tính năng RSS, hay 1 tính năng gì khác gần gần giống thế sẽ lên ngôi. Em đã biết đến khái niệm microblog chưa, hồi trước anh có nói là chuyển sang xài cái đó rồi đấy
, cái đó có thể post hay làm mọi thao tác thông qua cellphone cơ. Đó là dối thủ tiềm tàng của blog truyền thống đấy, tất nhiên ai coi trọng pageview và comment thì người ta vẫn dùng blog truyền thống
Em có ngâm cứu 2 thứ:
1. Cách làm một Plugin tổng quát < – đọc mờ mắt mới hiểu T_T
2. Cách query bài viết + thuộc tính của nó lên <– cái ý tưởng này thì có nhiều người viết code rùi, em tham khảo và thay đổi cho hợp với mục đích của mình thôi ^^
Ver 1.1: chắc chắn em sẽ thêm tính năng giới hạn số bài hiện ra, chứ hiện giờ có bao nhiêu bài là nó đưa lên bấy nhiêu
Anh có ý tưởng nào cải thiện cứ comment cho em nhé, em sẽ cố gắng nâng cấp
Plugin này do em tự code à, hay có tham khảo plugin nào ko ? Anh sẽ chờ những tính năng mới trong ver 1.1 vậy. Congra
