JJ's Post Scheduler

JJ’s Post Scheduler helps you prepare WordPress post and page updates ahead of time, review the changes, and choose when they should go live.

Instead of waiting until launch day to edit content by hand, you can record a change on a private copy, check what will be updated, schedule it, and keep a clear record of what happened.

Use it for planned content updates like campaign pages, announcements, seasonal copy, publish-date changes, featured-image swaps, status changes, taxonomy updates, and other post or page edits that should happen later.

How it works

1. Open an existing post or page.
2. Start a recording.
3. Edit the private copy instead of the live item.
4. Save the recording and review the before-and-after changes.
5. Pick the date and time when the changes should go live.
6. Check the overview, schedule list, or calendar to see what is planned.

The live post or page is not changed until the scheduled change runs.

Why use it

JJ’s Post Scheduler is built for people who want a calmer launch workflow. It helps reduce last-minute edits, gives you a review step before publishing changes, and keeps schedule history nearby when you need to see what ran.

It is useful for site owners, content managers, agencies, and implementers who manage important WordPress updates and want more confidence than a manual checklist.

What core supports

The free core supports existing WordPress posts and pages. Supported fields include title, slug, content, excerpt, status, publication date, author, featured image, menu order, registered taxonomies, and explicitly allowlisted registered metadata. Pages also support parent and page template changes.

Custom post types and fields owned by other plugins are not scheduled automatically. JJ’s Post Scheduler does not require WooCommerce.

What you get

• A recording workflow for post and page edits.
• Private editable copies so you can prepare changes safely.
• Before-and-after review before scheduling.
• Schedule list and calendar views.
• Status history, audit records, and rollback support for scheduled changes.

Privacy

JJ’s Post Scheduler stores recording and scheduling data in your WordPress database. This can include launch plans, snapshots, audit events, and recording state.

The plugin does not send site data to external services by default.

Review support reports and screenshots before sharing them. Uninstall removes plugin data only when the existing scheduled_changes_delete_data_on_uninstall setting explicitly permits destructive cleanup.

Security

JJ’s Post Scheduler uses WordPress permissions, nonces, REST permission checks, provider validation, schedule plans, readback checks, and fail-closed execution.
