Scheduled posts in WordPress

Dave Abargel,

WordPress has a very cool secret feature that lets you schedule the posts you publish.
This is a very useful feature that many beginner WordPress developers are not familiar with.
In this article we will see how to schedule the posts published on your WordPress site.

Why schedule posts in WordPress?

There is a certain point in the day at which every site reaches its peak in terms of visitors.
Or, for example, if you live in a different time zone than your visitors, a problem can arise here.
Imagine that you receive your site's peak of visitors at 3 AM in your time zone.
Another reason, for example, is if you are going on vacation but do not want to deal with your site – do you have a solution for that?

Simply put, you schedule your posts. This feature lets you maintain your own advantage by preparing the relevant posts in advance,
You can prepare for this step about a week in advance according to the schedule of the scheduled posts that will be published automatically.

So how do you do it?

Consistent timing is a very important parameter. If you usually publish posts at 7:30 in the morning, so that your site's visitors can read it with their morning coffee, then keep doing so at exactly that time; it is a great way to keep visitors loyal to your site.
