Scheduling
Pro. This feature requires WB Member Blog Pro. The free plugin must be installed and active first. See the Pro index for every Pro module.
Lets members schedule a post for future publication from the front-end post form. Off by default.
Turn it on at Member Blog > Features, then configure it at Member Blog > Scheduling.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”A member writing a post picks a date and time instead of publishing straight away. The post is scheduled, and WordPress publishes it at that time. The member can reschedule or cancel it afterwards.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed Roles | All roles | Which roles can schedule. Leave empty to allow everyone. |
| Default Publish Time | 09:00 | The time pre-filled in the picker |
| Minimum Schedule Time | 1 hour | How far in the future a post must be scheduled. 0 for no minimum. |
| Maximum Schedule Window | 0 (no limit) | How far ahead a post can be scheduled, in days |
| Maximum Scheduled Posts per User | 0 (no limit) | How many posts one member may have queued at once. Administrators and editors are exempt. |
| Email on publish | Yes | Email the member when their scheduled post goes live |
Allowed Roles is enforced. Before 4.0.0 the setting hid the scheduling button but nothing stopped an excluded member from scheduling anyway. It is now checked on every schedule, reschedule and cancel.
Member Surfaces
Section titled “Member Surfaces”Scheduled posts list
Section titled “Scheduled posts list”[bp-member-blog-scheduled]Shows the logged-in member’s scheduled posts, paginated, with reschedule and cancel actions. An editor or administrator can pass user_id to see another member’s queue; nobody else can.
Calendar
Section titled “Calendar”[bp-member-blog-calendar][bp-member-blog-calendar scope="community"]A calendar view of scheduled posts. scope="member" (the default) shows the logged-in member’s own posts. scope="community" shows the whole site’s publishing pipeline and is only visible to users with the capability to see it; everyone else sees nothing at all.
Both surfaces are also available inside the Author Dashboard.
