[wp-hackers] Daylight Savings Glitch

[Eric Mann]

Actually, changing the post time and changing the post status to "publish"
rather than "future" published the post.  In any case, even if this was an
issue with wp-cron, it shouldn't have happened.  Any ideas on how to make
WordPress sensitive to the fact that I was scheduling a post for after
Daylight Savings?

If you had waited until 10am, I think it would have posted. What was
probably happening was that the scheduled event in wp-cron to post the
job had not fired yet.

BTW, the time in the posts table was correct. You should not have
changed it, nor do I think it would have made any difference, really.
The time in the post controls nothing, the wp-cronjob controls when
the post publishes.
