SchedulePress is a WordPress plugin that makes it easier to plan and publish posts on your website by letting you schedule them ahead of time. You can use a calendar view to see all your upcoming content, drag posts to new dates if plans change, and set exact times for publishing without digging through menus. It’s useful for keeping your site active with new content, even if you’re not around to hit “publish” yourself, and it works with the WordPress editor you’re already using.
The plugin also handles posts that WordPress might miss due to its default scheduling quirks—like when no one visits your site at the scheduled time. The free version covers basic scheduling and calendar tools, while the Pro version adds options like automatic posting rules, social media sharing, and email alerts for your team. If you run a multi-author site, it can help everyone stay on the same page by showing who’s posting what and when.
You manage it all from your WordPress dashboard, and it connects with tools like Elementor or social platforms if you want to share posts automatically after they go live. For sites that need regular updates—like blogs or news pages—SchedulePress keeps the process organized and cuts down on manual work, letting you focus on writing instead of timing.
