oops, didn’t mean to sound harsh, just a premature submit. Thanks for the plug-in release, it’ll come in very handy for me soon.

It might help to explain to the audience what an Embargo Notation might be used for:

Dear Aaron,
I’m looking for a plug-in or possibly another method to modify Word Press’s functionality that does the following:
Depending on the Category of a post, a post is automatically delayed with a given amount of days.
Background: I’m maintaining a blog that republishes articles from a newspaper and from a magazine. Due to agreements with the publishers, the articles should not appear on the same day as in the print publication. In this case it means that every article from the newspaper should be embargoed for 2 days, while the magazine articles can only be put online with a delay of three weeks.
I know that I can edit the timestamp of each post (that’s exactly what I’m doing right now), but it would be much easier to tag an article as ‘magazine’ or ‘newspaper’ and have word press calculate the time stamp for me.
Would you have any suggestions for me how to tackle this? Do you know of any existing plugin that already does this?
Thanks
Manfred

Hi – I know it is not supported so maybe i won’t get a response. I followed the intstructions – activated ok – placed the code in the loop – showed up to administrators on the posts – clicked – nothing. This is on 2.2. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

I’d also like to a have time-bomb feature, where you could put a “hide after date” on a post.
