    I realize there are other topics about this, but I would really like to be able to write pages and have them show up at a specific time instead of right away. (just like you can do with posts)

    … But (according to the other topics) there isn’t a way to do that. But maybe it will be added in the future?

  • No, I don’t think it will ever be added.
    Read about Pages – one of the distinctive features is this: they are not part of the chronological stream of the posts. Hence, no need for timestamp.

    Yeah, I know; but with the nature of my site, I want to be able to make pages and have them show up (at a later time) without me having to BE there to do it manually.

    Actually, forget the timestamp (since apparently it’s “not ganna happen” and all…)
    Just put in a feature that allows pages to show up at a certain time.

    Simple solution :
    Create a plugin with :

    <?php
    function timestamp_pages()
    {
    ?>
    <fieldset id="posttimestampdiv" class="dbx-box">
    <h3 class="dbx-handle"><?php _e('Post Timestamp'); ?></h3>
    <div class="dbx-content"><?php touch_time(($action == 'edit')); ?></div>
    </fieldset>
    <?php
    }
    add_action('dbx_page_sidebar', 'timestamp_pages');
    ?>

    That was simple, Thanks!

    Forgive me for the newbie questions, but I have not found the answers elsewhere…

    1.) How do you remove the timestamp for pages?
    2.) How do you create a plug-in with Malaiac’s code? I have downloaded plug-ins, but never created one and do not know where to begin.

    Thanks for breaking it down for a beginner!

    1. um… pages don’t have timestamps. thats what the plugin is for.

    2. copy what Malaiac provided into Notepad. Then in between “<?php” and “function timestamp_pages()” put something like this:

    /*
    Plugin Name: Page Timestamp
    Plugin URI: *leave blank*
    Description: Place a timestamp in pages.
    Version: 1
    Author: *your name*
    Author URI: *leave blank*
    */

    Save it as “page-timestamp.php” (or anything with “.php” at the end) and you’ve got the plugin. Upload and activate like normal, and test it out.

    That was awesome, thanks Maliac. If anyone else needs a copy of the plugin, you can download it here.
