The Future Is Now is a WordPress plugin designed for event sites that require future timestamp functionality. It allows users to publish posts with future timestamps while making them visible immediately, overcoming the default WordPress limitation. This plugin modifies the post_status field to 'publish' instead of 'future', ensuring that posts appear right away regardless of their scheduled timestamp.

This plugin is particularly beneficial for businesses and productivity-focused websites that want to prepare content ahead of time without waiting for the scheduled date. The 2.0 version of The Future Is Now requires WordPress version 3.5 or higher, with a previous version available for older installations. This straightforward tool enhances content management and scheduling for event-driven platforms.
