Another quick How-To: Schedule posts in Wordpress

[Image: datebox]This is a pretty simple trick, but it’s probably one that most basic Wordpress users might not know. The only reason I know how to do it is that I’ve done it accidentally before, and it confused the hell out of me until I figured it out.

In your posting section in Wordpress, down on the right sidebar, there’s a little box titled “Post Timestamp.” If you expand this box, it’s basically a little timestamp setup.

So if you want to schedule a post for future publication, (almost) all you have to do is set the timestamp to a future date by typing the date and time into the available boxes.

Now I said that’s almost all you have to do. There’s one more step: make sure you check the “Edit timestamp” box. If you don’t check that box, it will post normally.

That’s it, you just scheduled a post in Wordpress.
