1/ From the WP Dashboard, click on Posts in the left menu.

2/ Click on Add New Post if you don't have an existing Post to schedule.

3/ Create your Post


4/ On the right side of your postBEFORE you publish it, there is an Edit link next to it.

5/ Click on the Edit link.



6/ Choose the date and time you wish this particular Post to be Published on.

7/ When you are satisfied with your choice, click on the Ok button.

Your Post is now scheduled to Publish on the date you chose.

Make sure youfollow up as a test run on your test site to make sure the schedule is running correctly. If not, continue reading for the solution!


Now you MAY come across a problem - it's called the Missed Schedule Error. This is because the WP Cron has failed to synchronize the schedule and therefore to fix this error, a plugin needs to be installed.
