Possibly an odd request, but i’m looking for a way for the system-generated month to display for the month *after* it was actually posted. For example, if {entry_date format=' %F %Y '} produced “June” I would like it to read “July” when rendered.

The reason is I work for a magazine, and we upload articles at the very end of the month, just before the issues hit shelves. So the article I post on June 25th is for the July issue, so we’d like the listings to read for the month the issue posts, not the day I actually post it in this case.

It’s for this page if anyone needs a reference (the previous articles):
http://www.lipulse.com/art-music/category/music-lucky-13

So the first article should read September 2013 instead of August. I hope this makes sense… thanks in advance for the help!

When you make a new entry you can change the “Entry Date”.
You make a new entry the 28 of june but you enter in the “Entry Date” the 1 of july.

Or do you mean something else?

Something else…

The articles should appear when I post them, I just want the month listed on the link I included above to read as one month *after* they get posted. So there’s no delay in when they publish, but on that one page the date basically reads as “Month +1”.

Hi LI,

This can be achieved with PHP code:

<?php
$entry_date = "{entry_date}";
echo date("F Y", strtotime("+1 month", $entry_date));
?>

With the above, set following preferences for that template:
Allow PHP? = “Yes”
PHP Parsing Stage = “Output”

I hope, it would help you.

I’ve never try this one but maybe it can help:

But the solution from Bhashkar looks perfect

Bhashkar - That seemed to do it! Thank you so much!!!

Worfoual - I’ll look into that plugin as well, I didn’t find that during my searches for an answer. Thank you as well!
