PublishPress Revisions allows you to schedule revisions to be automatically published in the future.
This allows you to update content now, but publish those updated changes at a later date.
How to Schedule a Revision #
To get started, you can either to “Revision Queue” in the WordPress admin area and edit a revision from that screen. Or you can find a published post or page and click “New Revision”.
- Edit a post that has the “Published” status.
- Make some changes to the post.
- In the right sidebar, find the “Immediately” button, as in the image below:
- Change this option to a date in the future. This is going to be when your scheduled revision goes live.
- If this revision hasn't been submitted yet, you may need to click the “Submit Revision” button:
- Go to the “Revision Queue” screen and you'll see your scheduled revisions:
If you click the “Preview” link on the “Revision Queue”, you will see a moderation toolbar. If this toolbar has a grey color, the revision is approved and scheduled. You will also see the message, “This is a Scheduled Revision”.
If the post has not yet been approved, the toolbar will be in green with the message “This is a Submitted Revision”.
