Frequently Asked Questions

What does this plugin do?

Post Calendar adds a beautiful calendar view to your WordPress admin area, allowing you to see all your posts organized by publication date. You can easily reschedule posts by clicking on them and selecting a new date and time.

Which post types does it work with?

By default, it works with Posts and Pages. In the settings, you can enable it for any public post type including custom post types. The plugin automatically filters to only show post types that use the standard WordPress admin interface.

How do I reschedule a post?

Simply click on any post title in the calendar view. A popup will appear with a date and time picker, allowing you to easily move the post to a different date and time.

Can I see my draft posts?

Yes! Click the “Drafts” button on the calendar view to see all your unscheduled draft posts. From there, you can click on any draft to give it a publication date and time.

Can I customize the colors?

Absolutely! Go to Settings Post Calendar and you’ll find color pickers for both published posts (default: green) and scheduled posts (default: yellow). The plugin automatically adjusts text color for readability.

Can I make the calendar the default view instead of the list view?

Yes! In the plugin settings, enable “Calendar as Default View” and all your enabled post type menu links (like Posts, Pages) will go directly to the calendar instead of the traditional list view.

Does it work with custom post types?

Yes, as long as your custom post type uses the standard WordPress admin interface (edit.php). You can enable any compatible post type in the plugin settings.

Will this slow down my site?

No, this plugin only affects the WordPress admin area and has no impact on your site’s front-end performance or loading speed.

The plugin I didn't even know I needed...

...and now don't want to live without! Sometimes a feature is so obvious, and yet there's no solution - until now. Being able to see your posts in a calendar view is a real game changer for managing content. Thank you for creating such a useful tool!
