My previous posting was a post to ‘Ask JaredQuinn’ to assist a user of the WP Support forums with their enquiry about setting the default post date in Word Press posts.

While this is still not technically a “plugin” because it requires modification to WordPress core files (there are no current hooks for these, yet) the closest I can get to a plugin has been released as in now available here.

This plugin allows you to specify any value that the strtotime() PHP function accepts, this includes strings such as:

• now
• next thursday
• in 1 week

These can be inserted into the Post form as the default timestamp and used to set the default without needing the user to click the ‘Edit Timestamp’ box.

See the link above for full details.
