Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Publish to Schedule

It all depends on the purpose for your writing. Some people would want to publish at any time, but if you want to set criteria this allows it. If your target is a business audience you might want to publish during business hours (or days). If you have a thought outside of business hours it will be held until the next business hours. If you are publishing for late night gamers you might want to publish after regular business hours and late into the early morning.

It starts in the present day and runs on future dates until it finds one day in a week in which settings allow publication. If this day has not published articles, the plugin will generate a random time in the time interval you set up in the configuration.
