“Seconds” field in “Write Post” page

Well, let me see, if you have posts coming out by the “second” and not the minute…that’s a LOT.

Sorry, the seconds were a “time waster” ?? and you are now stuck with hours and minutes to schedule your posts. That’s more than plenty for most of us.

You can set your “future post time” to anything you want, by date, hour, and minute. You just can’t control the seconds any more.

You’ll have to make one small edit to the touch_time() function in admin-functions.php (wp-admin/ directory). The function starts around line 412 of that file. In it, look for this line:

<input type="hidden" name="ss" value="<?php echo $ss ?>" size="2" maxlength="2" />

and change it to:

<input type="text" name="ss" value="<?php echo $ss ?>" size="2" maxlength="2" />

Back up source files before editing them, and comment your changes for future reference.

Well, I guess you can.

And I want to reinforce what Kaf says about comment your changes for future reference. Consider creating a “changes.txt” file in your WordPress root directory. When this file is replaced during the next upgrade, you will have notes in there to remind you of this information and how to change it in the future.

Thanks to you both for the answers. It’s not that I have a ton of posts, just that I want them to appear at the (virtually) same time and in a specific order. I’ll give the fix a try.

Lorelle, at least when the devs remove stuff from WordPress, they don’t tend to *really* remove them. Well, not all the time…
