Scheduling your Wordpress post to a future date

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Trying to keep up with your blogs while you are on vacation can be a daunting task. Not that I have been on vacation anytime lately. But if I ever was on a vacation, I would want my blog to post while I was on vacation so my readers wouldn’t miss me. I stumbled upon a post that showed me how but forgot to book mark it so they would get some link love.

You always worry about losing your traffic because you neglect to post on your blog…now you don’t have to worry…just do it ahead of time.

Here’s how you do it. First and foremost you have to write your post ahead of time. We’ll keep it simple with one, but it works for multiple post.

  1. Write your post.posting to a future date now
  2. When you are done and ready to save, here’s what you do 1st. (very simple)
  3. Edit time stamp box to the date and time you want to automatically post
  4. Click Publish on the Post Status Section
  5. Click Save (NOT PUBLISH)

Wahlah…your post will automatically post on the date and time that you save it.

Bob, I tried this out on my WP blog and it worked perfectly! Thanks - this is a great way to be able to write ahead of time and just schedule the postings rather than saving drafts and trying to remember WHEN I wanted to post :)
