RSS showing future posts

    I have three posts in the queue to be posted in the future, but I’m told by some of my readers that they’re already getting those posts. Near as I can tell, the dashboard tells me that these posts are ‘scheduled’ for the right day.

    Whats going on and how can I make sure that my readers aren’t getting posts ahead of time?

    Unless you have some kind of plugin interfering, future posts don’t show up in the feeds.

    I am using Feedburner, I suppose that could be the culprit. Anyone hear of Feedburner failing like that?

    FeedBurner can’t magically get content that is not published yet, so that’s not it.

    Did you publish them at one point BEFORE you made them “future” posts? Once it’s published, feed grabbers will notice and grab it, even if you later unpublish it, they may still have it cached.

    If you are going to make a future post, you need to do so from the beginning.

    Oh snap… I think last night, I accidentally published a page. When I saw that I forgot to edit the post time, I went back in and fixed it.

    So, you’re thinking that could’ve been the reason? With the data I have on hand (which is readers feedback) that would make sense. The fix here then, don’t be a dummy when you post, make sure that the edit stamp has been adjusted.

    Right. If you publish it live, even once, then it might get picked up by a reader while you have it live.

    Thanks, you rule.
