Pheasantly Queued Publication is a WordPress post queue for editors who want to schedule posts on a recurring publishing queue without calculating dates manually.<\/p>\n\n
Define a recurring post schedule or weekly publishing calendar, then queue posts for publication in the next available publishing slot.<\/p>\n\n
Keep using WordPress' native scheduled posts, but choose publish times from reusable weekly slots such as \"Monday 13:00\" or \"Friday 09:30\". This gives your content publishing schedule a predictable rhythm while keeping WordPress as the source of truth for publication.<\/p>\n\n
The plugin does not create a separate publication queue of post records. It stores reusable slot definitions in one custom table and stores actual scheduled-post state in WordPress core posts with How to create a weekly publishing schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Go to Queue Posts -> Publication Slots<\/strong>. Select a weekday and time, then click Add Slot<\/strong>. Repeat this for every regular publishing time.<\/p>\n\n Each row is a repeating weekly pattern rather than a one-time event. For example, Wednesday at 9:00 AM makes future Wednesdays at 9:00 AM available to the queue.<\/p>\n\n You can add multiple times on the same day, such as Tuesday at 9:00 AM and Tuesday at 3:00 PM. You cannot add the exact same weekday and time twice.<\/p>\n\n How to queue a post into the next open slot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Open an unpublished, unscheduled post in the block editor or classic editor. Open the Queue for publication<\/strong> options and select Queue for next slot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n Pheasantly finds the earliest configured time that is in the future and is not already occupied. The post then becomes a normal WordPress scheduled post.<\/p>\n\n How to choose a specific upcoming slot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Open the queue options and choose Pick a slot<\/strong>. Select a date and time, then confirm your choice.<\/p>\n\n The picker shows up to 10 upcoming free dates. Occupied dates are omitted. If the date you want is absent, another post may already be scheduled for that exact time, or the date may fall beyond the choices currently shown.<\/p>\n\n How to queue several drafts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Queue ready drafts in the order in which you want them published. Use Queue for next slot<\/strong> on each draft.<\/p>\n\n After the first draft takes the earliest free date, the next draft takes the next free date, and so on. Review the final order under Queue Posts -> Queued Posts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n How to review upcoming publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Go to Queue Posts -> Queued Posts<\/strong>. Use the calendar to see your schedule across months, or use Toggle View<\/strong> to switch to the grouped list. Smaller screens use the list view by default.<\/p>\n\n Post titles link to their editor screens. The overview includes every future post on the site, including posts scheduled manually or by another plugin.<\/p>\n\n How to change or remove a queued post<\/strong><\/p>\n\n A queued post is an ordinary WordPress scheduled post. Open it and use the standard WordPress scheduling controls to change its publication date and time.<\/p>\n\n To remove it from the schedule, change it back to a non-scheduled status such as Draft and save it. You can queue it again later.<\/p>\n\n How to change the recurring schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Go to Queue Posts -> Publication Slots<\/strong> and delete a recurring time you no longer need. Add a replacement slot if required.<\/p>\n\n Deleting a recurring slot only affects future queue choices. It does not move or cancel posts that are already scheduled.<\/p>\n\n Confirm that the plugin is active and that you can edit the post.<\/p>\n\n The control is intentionally hidden for posts that are already published or scheduled. Use WordPress' normal scheduling controls for a scheduled post, or change it back to Draft before queueing it again.<\/p>\n\n Also confirm that at least one slot exists under Queue Posts -> Publication Slots<\/strong>. With no slots configured, the editor displays a setup message instead of the queue actions.<\/p>\n\n No recurring slots have been configured. Ask an Administrator to add at least one slot under Queue Posts -> Publication Slots<\/strong>. Editors may be able to queue posts without having permission to manage slots.<\/p>\n\n Confirm that slots have been configured. If they have, upcoming occurrences may already be occupied.<\/p>\n\n Open Queue Posts -> Queued Posts<\/strong> or the standard Posts screen and look for scheduled posts at the configured times. Reschedule an existing post, add another recurring slot, or try again later.<\/p>\n\n Check that the expected time is still in the future according to the site timezone, that the recurring slot still exists, and that another post is not scheduled for the exact same date and time.<\/p>\n\n The picker displays only the next 10 available dates, so a later occurrence may not appear yet.<\/p>\n\n Availability changed after you opened the picker, usually because another post took that time. Reopen Pick a slot<\/strong> to refresh the list and choose another date.<\/p>\n\n Check the site timezone, date format, and time format under Settings -> General<\/strong>. The WordPress site timezone may differ from your computer's timezone.<\/p>\n\n Correct the post using the normal WordPress scheduling controls. Update the site timezone or recurring slots before queueing more posts.<\/p>\n\n This is expected. Deleting a slot prevents later use of that weekly pattern; it does not cancel or move existing scheduled posts. Edit the affected post if you want to change it.<\/p>\n\n This is expected with the default permissions. Administrators normally manage slots and view the overview, while users who can edit a post may queue that post.<\/p>\n\n After queueing, WordPress is responsible for publication. Scheduled publishing normally depends on WP-Cron, which is triggered by site traffic unless your host provides a server cron.<\/p>\n\n Check the post's date, the site timezone, and whether other scheduled WordPress tasks are also late. If they are, ask your hosting provider or site administrator to investigate the site's cron configuration.<\/p>\n\n This is expected. It lists all future posts, including posts scheduled manually or by other plugins.<\/p>\n\n Select both a weekday and a valid time. If WordPress says the slot already exists, check Current Slots<\/strong> for the same weekday and time. Exact duplicates are not allowed.<\/p>\n\n Reload the editor and try again. The post may have been published, scheduled elsewhere, moved to Trash, or changed by another editor while the page was open.<\/p>\n\n If the problem continues, confirm that WordPress normally lets you edit and schedule that post. A site administrator can then check for plugin conflicts and review the WordPress debug log.<\/p>\n\n A publication slot is a reusable weekday-and-time pattern, such as Tuesday at 10:00 AM. It repeats weekly. When you queue a post, Pheasantly turns the pattern into a real future date.<\/p><\/dd>\n Go to Queue Posts -> Publication Slots<\/strong>. Select the day of the week and time for the new slot. Click Add Slot<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, you can edit a queued post at any time before it is published. The scheduled datetime stays in place unless you change it through WordPress' normal scheduling tools.<\/p><\/dd>\n Users with the No. Occupied datetimes are not offered as available slots, and the plugin does not move or reschedule other posts.<\/p><\/dd>\n If you delete a publication slot, that slot will no longer be used for future publications. Posts already scheduled for future publication keep their existing schedule.<\/p><\/dd>\n Queue for next slot<\/strong> immediately schedules the post at the earliest available configured time. Pick a slot<\/strong> lets you choose from up to 10 upcoming available dates.<\/p><\/dd>\n Pheasantly uses the timezone configured under Settings -> General<\/strong>. Check this setting before creating your schedule, especially if team members work in different timezones.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Pheasantly selects a date and turns the post into a normal WordPress scheduled post. WordPress handles publication at the scheduled time.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. \"Queued\" describes how its date was selected. After queueing, WordPress stores and handles it as a regular scheduled post.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Open the post and change its date and time using the standard WordPress scheduling controls. The manually selected time does not have to match a Pheasantly slot.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Open the scheduled post, change it back to Draft or another non-scheduled status, and save it. The date it occupied will become available again.<\/p><\/dd>\n Pheasantly skips that occurrence and offers the next free one. It does not displace or automatically reschedule the post already there.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Slot changes affect later queue choices only. Existing scheduled posts keep their dates until you edit them.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. It shows all future posts on the site. It does not identify which tool originally scheduled each post.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Both editors let you queue for the next slot or pick a specific upcoming slot.<\/p><\/dd>\n The picker intentionally shows up to 10 upcoming available dates. Use Queue for next slot<\/strong> when you simply want the earliest one.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. For example, Tuesday at 9:00 AM and Tuesday at 3:00 PM are separate valid slots. Only exact duplicates are rejected.<\/p><\/dd>\n Already queued posts remain normal WordPress scheduled posts, so deactivating Pheasantly does not cancel them. Pheasantly's queue controls and admin screens are unavailable while it is inactive.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\npost_status = future<\/code>. WordPress core handles publication in the normal scheduled-post way.<\/p>\n\nFeatures<\/h4>\n\n
