Scheduled Content Dashboard

Scheduled Content Dashboard gives you a clean view of everything queued up for publication. It adds a dashboard widget grouping scheduled content by when it’s due, a full editorial calendar page where you can drag posts to different days, flags posts WordPress failed to publish on time, and quietly republishes them for you.

Most scheduling plugins bolt on social sharing, complex settings, and marketing upsells. This one doesn’t. It shows what’s scheduled, lets you reshuffle it, and keeps it publishing. That’s it.

Features

• Full editorial calendar page — full-screen month grid with drag-and-drop rescheduling (time of day preserved)
• Dashboard widget — scheduled content grouped by Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week, and Later
• Mini calendar view — switch the widget to a month grid with dots on days that have scheduled posts
• Missed-schedule detection — posts stuck in future status past their date are flagged in red
• Auto-fix missed schedules — quietly republishes stuck posts on admin page loads (most competitors gate this in a paid tier)
• One-click “Publish now” — manually push any missed post live from the widget
• Admin bar counter — see how many posts are scheduled (and if any are missed) from anywhere in the admin
• Optional email digest — daily or weekly summary of missed + upcoming posts to any recipients
• REST API — endpoints for scheduled, missed, counts, publish-now, and reschedule
• Post type + author filters — drill down inside the widget without leaving the dashboard
• “Mine only” toggle — multi-author sites can filter the widget to the current user’s content
• Drafts in widget (optional) — show drafts alongside scheduled items
• Settings page — configure item limit, which post types to include, default view, auto-fix, and digest
• All public post types — posts, pages, products, events, custom post types
• Privacy-friendly — no tracking, no external requests, no cookies

Use cases

• Editorial teams managing a content calendar
• Bloggers scheduling posts in advance
• Agencies juggling multiple client sites
• Anyone frustrated by WordPress missing scheduled publish times

Privacy

This plugin does not collect data, send data to external servers, use cookies, or track users. Everything displayed is already in your WordPress database.
