Tips and Tricks: Scheduling Your Posts
Did you know that WordPress allows you to schedule posts in advance? You can set up exactly when your content will go live, sit back, and watch WordPress publish it for you.
This handy feature applies for all types of content: pages, posts, FAQ, people, events, and so on. And what’s more, it is available on both CMS and cuTheme!
