Why Schedule Posts In WordPress?
Sites have a peak in which they get the majority of their users at a particular time of the day. If you happen to live in a different time zone than your readers this can definitely be a problem. Let’s just say your peak time for your readers is 2 a.m. This is where scheduling posts can come in very handy. Anotherย situation is let’s say you are going on vacation with your family and you don’t want to abandon your blog. By scheduling your posts in WordPress, you don’t have to worry about leaving your blog.

Once you are done writing a post in WordPressย you want to look right above the publish button. You will see the option saying publish immediately. You want to click the edit link you see right next to it.
Once you click on the edit link, you will see where you can set the date and time. Just set the date and time for a future date.
Once you have your future date and time set, you will see the schedule button. Click the okay button and then click the Schedule button to schedule your post.
One thing to keep in mind is some users might prefer consistent timing. One example is let’s say you write and publish posts right before users wake up for breakfast. More than likely most of your users will read your posts at breakfast over some coffee. Make sure you continue to do thisย to keep your users loyal to your website. By changing the times, you post some of your loyal followers might have to find another breakfast blog to read. And very often users will look forward to reading your posts so if you’re not consistent this can be a turn off to them.
