List Your Scheduled Posts


The problem. Like many bloggers, you probably want your readers to visit your blog more often or subscribe to your RSS feed. A good way to make them curious about your future posts is by listing the titles of your scheduled posts.

The solution. Open any of your theme files and paste the following code:

1 <?php
2 $my_query = new WP_Query('post_status=future&order=DESC&showposts=5');
3 if ($my_query->have_posts()) {
4 while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
5 <li><?php the_title(); ?></li>
6 <?php endwhile;
7 }
8 ?>

Code explanation. In this code, we have created a custom WordPress query using the WP_Query class to send a database query and fetch the five most recent scheduled posts. Once done, we use a simple WordPress loop to display the posts’ titles.
