 * What is the most elegant way in WordPress to update the post_date by 240 min 
   into the future? (Site uses a local time) Currently I use a rather complicated
   way with strtotime.
 * Thanks!

 * Did you try WP future date post/page publish feature? Please find the mentioned
   section [here](https://monosnap.com/direct/kLzg7ohOmnL3bGA8k7z5yVdUbevLY0).

 * Thanks for your answer but I need to auto update hundreds of posts per day via
   code based on certain actions.
