 // Trac #62468 Reproduction: wp_update_post overwrites post_date when
 updating post_status
 add_action( 'init', 'trac_62468_reproduction' );
 function trac_62468_reproduction() {
         if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
                 return;
         }

         // Update the value here to match with your test post
         $post_id = 24;

         if ( is_wp_error( $post_id ) ) {
                 error_log( 'Error creating post: ' .
 $post_id->get_error_message() );
                 return;
         }

         $future_date = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime( '+100 day' ) );
         wp_update_post( array(
                 'ID'           => $post_id,
                 'post_status'  => 'future',
