- A cron event is registered to publish posts every minute
What the plugin does not add
Section titled “What the plugin does not add”- There is no plugin settings page in the WordPress admin. All controls appear on the front end for members.
- There is no block, shortcode, or widget added to the editor.
Uninstalling
Section titled “Uninstalling”Deactivating the plugin removes the cron event and the publish-lock transient; scheduled post records and their metadata remain in the database until the plugin is deleted. Deleting the plugin removes the scheduling metadata (the _bp_activity_status and Youzify title fields) from the activity meta table, but the underlying activity records stay in the database. Any posts that were in a scheduled-but-not-yet-published state will surface in the activity feed as normal posts once the status meta is gone. Existing published posts are not affected.
