Scheduling Entries for Future Posting
We have implemented a feature that allows you to schedule entries for future posting. The script that runs this feature executes daily at midnight.
UPDATE on 2/4/2008: the script now executes twice daily, at noon and at midnight.
To use this feature, create an entry as usual. When you are ready to save your entry, do the following:
- Set the Post Status to "Scheduled."
- Enter a desired future posting date and time in the Authored On box. Be sure to follow the prescribed format of the existing date. Note that any time of day is fine, since the midnight-running script will pick up anything from the last 24 hours.
The screen shot below gives an example.
