<p><strong>Scheduled Posts Showcase</strong> lets you display your scheduled (future) posts on the frontend of your WordPress site without creating problematic links to unpublished content.</p>

<h4>Key Features</h4>

<li><strong>Multiple display methods</strong> – Use shortcode, widget, Gutenberg block, or REST API</li>
<li><strong>Fully customizable</strong> – Control what information to display and how it looks</li>
<li><strong>Global settings with per-instance overrides</strong> – Set defaults once, customize where needed</li>
<li><strong>Translation ready</strong> – Fully prepared for localization</li>
<li><strong>Developer friendly</strong> – Extensive hooks for customization</li>
</ul>
<h4>Display Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>Number of posts to show</li>
<li>Featured image (thumbnail or medium size)</li>
<li>Scheduled publication date</li>
<li>Post excerpt (with configurable word count)</li>
<li>Categories</li>
<li>Custom heading with selectable HTML tag</li>
<li>Custom footer content for calls to action</li>
</ul>
<h4>Appearance Options</h4>

<li>Dashicon, theme default, or no list bullets</li>
<li>Curated icon selector for list bullets</li>
<li>Accent color customization</li>

</ul>
<h4>Visibility Control</h4>
<p>Choose who can see your scheduled posts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Everyone (public)</li>
<li>Logged-in users only</li>
<li>Editors and administrators only</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p><strong>Shortcode:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[scheduled-posts-showcase]
</code></pre>
<p>With parameters:</p>
<pre><code>[scheduled-posts-showcase count="3" show_date="1" show_excerpt="1" container_style="card"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Widget:</strong></p>
<p>Add the “Scheduled Posts Showcase” widget to any widget area from Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Widgets.</p>
<p><strong>Gutenberg Block:</strong></p>
<p>Search for “Scheduled Posts” in the block inserter and add the block to any post or page.</p>

<pre><code>GET /wp-json/scheduled-posts-showcase/v1/scheduled-posts

<h4>Why This Plugin?</h4>
<p>Existing plugins for displaying scheduled posts either:</p>

<li>Link to scheduled posts, causing 404 errors</li>
