FAQ

What post types are supported?

By default, the calendar shows standard posts. You can enable pages and custom post types in Settings.

Can multiple authors use the calendar?

Yes! All users with the “edit_posts” capability can access the calendar.

Does drag & drop change the publication date?

Yes. When you drag a post to a different day, its publication date is updated immediately.

What is the backlog on the right?

Every draft without a publication date. Drag one onto a day to schedule it, and it leaves the backlog. It is the fastest way to turn a pile of ideas into an actual plan.

Can I stop other people from moving my posts around?

The calendar respects WordPress capabilities: someone can only move a post they are allowed to edit. Contributors see the calendar but cannot reschedule other people’s work.

Does it change anything on my site’s front end?

No. This is an editorial tool: it only touches the admin. Nothing is enqueued on the public side and no markup is added to your pages.

Can I filter the calendar?

Yes, by category, author and status, and there is a search box. Useful once several people publish on the same site.

Can I colour posts by category instead of status?

Yes. In Settings, switch the colour mode to “By category”. You can also choose what each card shows — author, category, thumbnail — and set your own status colours.

Does it work with custom post types?

Yes. Enable them in Settings and they appear on the calendar alongside posts.

Will scheduling a post from the calendar actually publish it?

Yes, through the normal WordPress scheduling mechanism. A post dropped on a future date is scheduled, and WP-Cron publishes it at the configured time.
