Works Great with 6.1.1
by Frank·3 years ago·3 replies

This little plugin works great with WP 6.1.1 and save me a lot of work

I would like to make one suggestion.

I would like to see repeat rules (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly) similar to what available in Google Calendar

If you could do this it would make Schedule Posts Calendar the best posting plugin available for wordpress because no plugin offers this feature

Useful Plugin

So useful!
by Patrick_D1985·6 years ago

Simply put this is convenience.
But it’s an always install plugin because it makes live so much easier when planning content on the WP backend.
Simple and effective!

Would be great, but
by lpasqualis·8 years ago

I loved this plugin; until I found out that my posts were being saved with “Allow comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page” unchecked.
It appears that, when you use this to change the schedule of a post from the post list, it disables the post discussion settings.

Simple but fantastic timesaver for scheduling posts!
