WordPress es de forma clara una de las mejores plataformas para bloggers y propietarios de sitios Web, posiblemente he best. It is very easy to understand, without needing to memorize any very complicated code to create your blogs and format your site the way you want. Simply write your article, click "publish" and voila! Your post is available for the world to marvel at.
But what if you don't necessarily want your post to go live by the time you finish writing it? What if there is a date in the near future that would be a more ideal time to publish the post, but you are unable or unwilling, for whatever reason, to log in and post it at that time? What if you want multiple posts to be published at the same time, but don't have time to write them all at once?
Fortunately for you, there is the option to schedule your post to go live at a later date, so once it's set up, you don't have to think about it again. Here, we'll talk about the benefits of scheduling your posts and how to do it if you want to.
What's the point of scheduling your posts?
Hay muchas razones por las que es viable que desee aprovechar la función de programming de publicaciones en WordPress.
Take a day off here and there
One of the biggest benefits of scheduling your posts is that you can take time off to write and still have a fresh new post every day. Maybe you have a vacation planned or want to take a day off from time to time. No problem. All you need to do is write the posts when you have time and simply schedule them to be published at a later date. No one will know the difference if you wrote the post today or two weeks ago.
Avoid the dreaded writer's block
Every writer has had days when he could write for hours and hours with all kinds of ideas spinning in his head and other days when he could hear the crickets chirping for lack of ideas. Take advantage of those moments when topics abound and write them all down while you can. When you're feeling more motivated, you can simply write a bunch of posts and schedule them over multiple days and times for future posts so there's always something good to read on your site.
Balance your posts
Perhaps your site has a variety of different posts, such as opinions, educational information, and even newsworthy articles. Even though posts that contain helpful tips and information can be published at any time and remain relevant, news articles are generally very urgent. These types of posts need to be published fairly quickly. News articles are relevant only for a short period of time, so you want them to be published sooner rather than later while the masses are still searching for this information.
If you are writing a post and you identify something that is newsworthy, you can open a new draft and write a new piece, publish it, and schedule the one you were originally working on so that they are not published at the same time.
Publish your posts at the right time of day
A veces, ciertos datos publicados atraen más atención y, de esta manera, generan más traffic en momentos específicos del día. Digamos que el mejor momento para captar la atención de sus lectores es al mediodía, pero sus jugos creativos tienden a fluir al amanecer. De manera realista, podría escribir sus publicaciones en la mañana y luego programarlas para que se publiquen al mediodía. O podrías escribirlos la noche anterior. O una semana antes. Entiendes la idea.
Use WordPress Post Scheduling Plugins
If you are one of those writers who is always in the know and you like to be well prepared with scheduled posts, you may want to take advantage of a WordPress plugin or two to help you accomplish this task.
Por increíble que be la opción de programación en WordPress, siempre hay margen de mejora, como todo lo demás en la vida, ¿verdad? Es precisamente es por ello que que varias persons con inclinaciones técnicas han creado complementos para hacer que la programación de publicaciones sea muy sencilla. Aquí hay algunos para tener en cuenta.
Increase the hours. Si eres de los que escriben un montón de publicaciones de una sola vez y las programan para futuras publicaciones, definitivamente encontrarás el complemento Bump the Post muy útil. Si ya ha programado todas estas publicaciones, entonces, por cualquier motivo, necesita cambiar la fecha y / o la hora de su publicación, no tiene que tener acceso y cambiar manualmente el horario de cada publicación. En cambio, puede ajustar esta fecha con un solo clic. Simplemente escriba cuándo debe comenzar el golpe y cuántos días debe modificarse el horario, ¡y listo!
Automatic schedule posts. If your site involves a team of writers or is one that enables posts and comments from your readers, the Auto Schedule Posts plugin may work quite well for you. This plugin enables you to control the time of day posts are published and prevents multiple articles from being posted on top of each other when multiple writers are contributing. Posts can be randomized so that a writer doesn't always hook into key time slots, and multiple posts can be evenly spaced.
Lost WP Calendar. If your site is very busy and you have a lot of posts scheduled for future release, you've likely experienced the frustrating "Missed Schedule" message when some of your scheduled posts don't go live. WP Missed Schedule plugin takes care of that for you.
Can I unschedule a post?
Of course! If you've scheduled the wrong date or time for a post to go live, you can always go back and change it. But don't look for a "cancel schedule" button, because there isn't one. Just click the "edit" button to change the time, or click "cancel" for the post to be published immediately.
So how do you actually schedule a post?
Now that you know why you should schedule your posts, here you go as to actually do it. In other words, without an elegant complement.
From your WordPress dashboard, hover over Send on the left side of the screen. There you will see four other submenus, including All messages, Add new, Categories and Tags. Select the Add new option. This is where you create your post. When done, you will have a few options in the Publish section, including Condition, Visibility and Post immediately. Click on Post immediately, soon Edit. Enter the date and time you want the post to be published and then click Calendar. And ready!

La programación se encargará de eso por ti, sin preocupaciones.
