Q: How can I schedule my blog posts in WordPress?

A: Unlike some of the other blogging platforms out there, WordPress will allow you to schedule your posts ahead of time. With this handy feature you can literally set your posts for weeks, months, even years ahead of time. This particular feature makes it easy for a blogger to create their posts, while a topic is fresh on their mind and schedule it to publish when it’s most convenient for them.

Here are step-by-step directions for scheduling blog posts on a WordPress blog

.

First, login to your WordPress account. Once logged in choose Write Post from your dashboard. Next, write your post as you normally would.

Once you have your post written and are ready to save it, you’ll want to let WordPress know when to publish. To set your post to publish at a later date, click on Post Timestamp on the right to expand it. Once there, check the Edit timestamp box and enter the date and time you wish for your post to show on your blog.

Once you’ve selected the date and time, simply click Publish and your post will show on your blog automatically at the date and time you selected.
