[Plugin: Auto-Schedule Posts] Doesn’t do exactly what it says…

  • This plugin doesn’t actually hold posts to be published. it just pre-dates them to 1970 until the proper time has elapsed. Then the post is re-dated. Unfortunately this means posts that should be invisible still show up on random post widgets, and via searches. It also plays havoc with permalinks if you use date tags.

    I was really hoping to find a way to pre-post without having to figure out how many days ahead my posts are, but this just isn’t going to do it. I’d love to just publish away, and have my posts automatically appear with a 20 hour gap between all posts.

  • Hmm my posts are publishing to 1970 like yours but they do not update to become published at a current date.

    I grab RSS Feeds and publish 5 to 10 posts at a time which I wanted to spread out to post one every 10 minutes or something.

    this thing seems to just predate the post and then do nothing.

    very strange

    A better name for this plugin might be
    TimeWarp Your Posts heh

    Ah i see the problem

    /* captured a publish_post event – set publish_time_gmt to ‘9999-12-31 09:59:59’ and publish_time to the gmt offset of that */

    function drip_publish() {
    $query = “select id from $wpdb->posts where post_date_gmt > ‘9999-12-30 9:59:59′”;

    It cant find the post if its not looking in the right location / date

    This would be a useful plugin if it worked as advertised

    I think I managed to get it to work, at least for me, I put a diff up at gfcs.homelinux.com/auto-schedule-posts.diff

    Now to just find a way to hide posts until they get posted for real.

    gbierman,

    Unpacking the package…
