<h3>External Services</h3>

<p>The specific data sent to the Buffer API includes:<br />
* Post Title<br />
* Post URL<br />
* Post Excerpt<br />
* Author Display Name<br />
* Post Categories and Tags (formatted as #hashtags)<br />
* Featured Image URL</p>

<p>Forward: Queue Posts adds a simple publishing queue to WordPress. Instead of choosing an exact publish date manually, editors can queue a post or page and let the plugin place it after the previous queued or scheduled item.</p>
<p>You can choose the publishing window, the minimum time between queued items, whether weekends should be skipped, and how new queued items are placed.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Adds a queue button to the post editor.</li>
<li>Supports posts and pages.</li>
<li>Schedules queued content by minutes, hours, or days.</li>
<li>Lets you define a publishing window.</li>
<li>Can avoid weekend publishing.</li>
<li>Can queue after the previous queued item or the last scheduled post.</li>
<li>Includes bundled translation files for common languages.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Good for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Editorial calendars with a steady publishing rhythm.</li>
<li>Sites that prepare several posts at once.</li>
<li>Teams that want simple scheduling without managing exact dates manually.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How scheduling works</h3>
<p>Forward: Queue Posts uses your WordPress site timezone.</p>
<p>When an editor clicks <strong>Queue</strong>, the plugin starts from either the last queued item or the last scheduled post, depending on the selected queueing method. It then adds the configured minimum interval exactly, normalizes the result to the selected publishing window, and moves weekend dates to the next allowed publishing day when <strong>Avoid weekends</strong> is enabled.</p>
<h3>Data and privacy</h3>
<p>Forward: Queue Posts does not connect to external services. It stores plugin settings and the internal “last queued” timestamp in WordPress options, and updates queued posts or pages with normal WordPress scheduled-publish dates.</p>


Forward: Queue Posts

Queue posts and pages for later publishing at minute, hour, or day intervals.
