Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Content Update Scheduler

Each page and post has a 'Scheduled Content Update' link in the overview, which allows you to schedule content updates. Click on it. Then select the date and time in the new 'Scheduled Content Update' meta box on 'Page' level and then click 'Publish' to schedule it.

Yes, it has been tested with Elementor and Oxygen Builder. It may also work with other page builders.

You can use below filter to exclude post types: add_filter('content_update_scheduler_excluded_post_types', function($excluded_post_types) { // Replace EXCLUDE_THIS with the name of the post type you want to exclude $excluded_post_types[] = 'EXCLUDE_THIS'; return array_unique($excluded_post_types); });

The plugin provides two action hooks that allow you to perform custom actions before and after a scheduled update is published: Before Publishing Hook: add_action('ContentUpdateScheduler\\before_publish_post', function($post, $orig) { // Perform actions before the scheduled update is published // $post = the scheduled update post // $orig = the original post being updated }, 10, 2); After Publishing Hook: add_action('ContentUpdateScheduler\\after_publish_post', function($post, $orig) { // Perform actions after the scheduled update has been successfully published // $post = the scheduled update post // $orig = the original post that was updated }, 10, 2); These hooks are useful for triggering custom notifications, cache clearing, analytics tracking, or any other post-publication tasks.
