Found a workaround if you are comfortable editing your database...

1 - Login to your cPanel, then phpMyAdmin, or whatever you use to manage your database.
2 - Go to the jos_phocagallery_categories table (this is the table name with default Joomla! and Phoca install)
3 - Click "Browse"
4 - Click edit (the pencil) on the row representing the Category you want to start publishing at a later date.
5 - Scroll down to "date" and change this date/time for a future time to begin publishing (keep in mind the time offset of your server when changing the date/time)

This does not work... Apparently, I did not refresh the page when doing this. The date in the database only affects the sorting... DAMN!!!

The ONLY workaround I could come up with was to use the phoca gallery plugin and set up a Joomla! article for individual gallery

I should also not that through my research on this topic of FUTURE PUBLISHING, I cam across a LOT of people who were interested in this feature. I also cam across 8 or so other components that are almost exactly like Phoca, and NONE of the, have a FUTURE PUBLISH and UNPUBLISH feature (like Joomla! uses for articles), and this is a feature I would GLADLY!!!!! pay for...

Keep up the good work!
