Title: [Plugin: Automatic Post Scheduler] Request: More information Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Automatic Post Scheduler] Request: More information * Resolved [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/) * Hi. Automatic post sheduler is a great idea. But I want to know more. Firstly, in which exactly way does it work? * For example, my last entries are 60 minutes ago, and the last 24 minutes. In configuration, I have minimum 15 minutes, and maximum 1 hour. When it will be published? * What does it mean the minimum and maximum values? * All these things could be explained somewhere. * Thank you. I really want a Tumblr-like queue for wordpress. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/automatic-post-scheduler/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/automatic-post-scheduler/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824562) * Hey ivalegre! * Thanks for posting! I’ll do my best and explain these things in either the help menu, the plugin FAQ, the plugin description, or all of them combined. * To answer here as well, the plugin randomly picks a new interval between min & max and schedules the new post to be published at that random moment in time ( based on the latest published/scheduled post time). If you want all your posts 2h apart, for example, just set min=max=2h. * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824669) * Thank you for answering. It solved almost all my questions. * I don’t know if I’m retarded, but it doesn’t work for me. The first time i didn’t care about, but now, I’ve given a second chance to the plugin but it didn’t work for me. * My blog is: [http://yonkiblog.com](http://yonkiblog.com) * My settings are Min=15 min, max=1 hour. And now, I’ve posted three post at 21: 22, 21:24 and at 21:31. And every one has been published without delay or re- scheduling. * I use xml-rpc, if this helps. * Thank you tetele. * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824672) * I’ve discovered what was wrong. You need to have a programed post. Without that it doesn’t work * Another thing is that with this plugin you cannot edit a post conserving publishing date. It publishes like a new post. And you can’t program a post to the past. I think that the only way to do it is disable the plugin. * And the last. I takes care of the most future post. For example, If I want to program a post to July, every post after that will go to July (or after). * But finally works. Thank you, that’s what I’ve been searching. * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824673) * That’s weird, it should be enough to publish a post sooner than the minimum 15 minutes in your case and the scheduler should kick in automatically. I’ll look into it, thanks for the heads up. * Regarding editing, you’re right, that’s a pretty big bug I’m going to have to solve until the next version. * Thank you for your feedback! * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824674) * First of all, I don’t know anything about wordpress plugins, so this could be impossible to do it, but I’ve looked the plugin code. * It could be possible to automatic schedule post in this way? Taking care of the last queued post, instead of the furthest post. So you shouldn’t mind if you put a post to be published in two months. Because the next posts you publish, will be published according to the last queued post, not the furthest. * Possibly this is insane, because you can’t mark a post as queued, but I don’t know, just in case. Ask is free. 😉 * This apart from the “not future posts” and the “editing a post” cases. * Thank you so much. I hope this doesn’t disturb you. * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824675) * But what happens when you first schedule a post? Obviously, there will be no previously queued posts, right? At least not automatically… * Or maybe I don’t fully understand your question. * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824676) * Nono, this is only a suggestion. * If there are no queued posts you take care of the last published post. In this way it will overlook manually scheduled posts. * For example This a possible original case: Max and Min = 1 hour. Last published post: 30 minutes ago. Two post scheduled: One month later and three moths later. * If I post something. I will be published in 30 minutes, and If I post another thing, in 1 hour and 30 minutes. * Sorry for the confusion. * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824677) * I understand, but as you pointed out at first, this is not possible. What the plugin does is schedule posts. * What’s the difference between manually scheduled and automatically scheduled posts? None. Therefore it’s impossible to choose when to ignore the manually scheduled posts. * But if you come up with an idea to solve this, one that could be used by many people, not just you, I’d be happy to implement it. * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824710) * I’ve fixed the settings issue in 0.9.1. Now settings are properly saved the first time. * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824711) * Thank you so much!!! Now this plugin is perfect. * Thank you! * Thread Starter [ivalegre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivalegre/) * (@ivalegre) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824712) * I’m sorry to say this, but it doesn’t work for me. I use a Desktop program to post every content of my blog.In the new version, it doesn’t schedule posts with XML-RPC. You have to publish the post via Admin Panel (This didn’t happen with 0.9) * Thank you for the improvements but I really need XML-RPC. Even with the previous“ bugs”. * Plugin Author [tetele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tetele/) * (@tetele) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-automatic-post-scheduler-request-more-information/#post-1824713) * Hmm, that will be an admin option in the future version of the plugin. * Now you have to explicitly opt-in for scheduling, either from the interface or from code. I haven’t thought about the XML-RPC case. * Thanks!
