    Hello,
    is there currently any way to have wordpress automatically post a saved draft at a certain time or date?
    What I`m thinking is maybe some way to make a post, save the draft and tell it to automatically make the draft public at a later date with a cron job or something.
    Is this currently possible?
    Thanks in advance

    Wouldn’t editing the timestamp work?

    sure, save the post as published, and edit the time to be something in the future

    No what I need is for wordpress to automatically make the post without me having to do it.
    Say for example I have a photo of the day site and I have to leave on monday for a trip and I wont have internet access for the week.
    What I would like is to be able to make all posts for the week on sunday,save them as drafts and then specify when to make the posts public, like only publish Monday    s photo of the day at 7am monday morning and the same for tuesday,etc.

    Yes, that’s exactly what the timestamp does.
    Write your posts on Sunday, and edit the timestamp on all of them: for Monday the date for that day, for Tuesday the next date etc.
    Cick Publish – and they will appear on the day you specified, not earlier!

    Erm Im feeling a bit silly hehe...I thought it was only for changing a posts date yourself.
    Wordpress keeps impressing me…thanks!
