Title: Auto-post plugin? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Auto-post plugin? * [nyrsimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyrsimon/) * (@nyrsimon) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/) * WP Users, * I’m hoping somebody can help me out here. Lets say I have a database of entries I want to make to my blog. I want to automatically post these entries at particular times (e.g every day, every other day etc) into certain categories… * Is there a plugin that does that? If not can anybody point me in the right direction of a good plugin that I can perhaps enhance for my purposes? * I suppose I could use the Email to WP feature and email each item, but that seems a little ‘around the houses’… * Any help is very much appreciated… Simon Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-229591) * If you write all the entries, you can date them into the future to be posted ? * Thread Starter [nyrsimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyrsimon/) * (@nyrsimon) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-229594) * Thanks – unfortunatley they are electronic (i.e. pre-written) so I was looking for an automated way of doing this….. * Simon * Thread Starter [nyrsimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyrsimon/) * (@nyrsimon) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-229668) * bump – any help folks, or is everybody celebrating the 4th!

But then again, it doesn’t _really_ help… * Thread Starter [nyrsimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nyrsimon/) * (@nyrsimon) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-229687) * Thanks for that helpful comment…. * Anyway, after many hours digging, I think I have found a solution. I can hack a copy of the import-rss function to automate posting… * Simon * [Hoover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoover/) * (@hoover) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-229987) * I’m not sure why you can’t post them with future dates and then just forget them. I guess I miss the point of it all. But then again, I miss the point of many things. 😉 * [budwiser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/budwiser/) * (@budwiser) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230253) * How do you post them in to the future? Please give details for a newbie to follow thx 🙂 * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230254) * Budwiser – from the Advanced Edit screen (which you can select in Options > Writing), scroll down. You will see the timestamp boxes. Check the correct box next to the date/time line and alter to suit. * [budwiser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/budwiser/) * (@budwiser) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230255) * but this will only post it imediately only dated ahead, is there a way to hold a post back until the desired date and time? thx * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230256) * It holds it back. * If you ‘post’ one now dated for Monday at 9:13pm, it will not appear on your blog until precisely that time. * Do a test one for 15 minutes from now ? * [budwiser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/budwiser/) * (@budwiser) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230257) * ok, thanks! got it! * btw, unrelated but since your here… * I am trying to download new themes but I get a meesage that says looks like WP isn’t installed, ? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230258) * It says that but your blog IS installed ? If that’s the case, go email your host and ask them what’s up. Unless you did something to the database ? * [budwiser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/budwiser/) * (@budwiser) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-post-plugin/#post-230259) * my blog is installed but when I go to admin>presentation and click on More Themes Link, and takes me to [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/) I select a them to download I get this message: It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet.
