Frequently Asked Questions
Changelog
3.6
- The custom post status is registered with WordPress so that posts queued for automatic publishing can be seen and edited in the WordPress Posts admin area.
- This version updates the deactivation function so that scheduled posts functionally become orphans. Previously deactivation would result in scheduled posts staying in the database but with a post status that would not show up anywhere in the WordPress Admin interface. The new deactivation function changes the status of scheduled posts to “draft” so that they can be handled as the author sees fit after the plugin has been deactivated.
- New function to “Publish All” on the settings page – each queued post is published.
- New function to “Delete This” on the settings page. Individual posts may be deleted without having to go to the post administration page.
- This has been tested in WordPress 3.5.1
